Abstract	Clinical hypnosis, defined as a "therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals who have undergone a procedure designed to relax them and focus their minds" (American Psychological Association, n.d.), is a relaxation-based tool that has uses in the treatment of anxiety, pain, and a range of stress-related disorders (Nash & Barnier, 2008). In the literature, hypnotic techniques have been referred to as relaxation-mental imagery (RMI; Kohen, Olness, Colwell, & Heimel, 1984); sometimes the terms hypnosis and RMI have been used interchangeably. There is emerging evidence as to its clinical usefulness to treat common problems in school-age youth. When working with children, the goal is primarily to teach them self-hypnosis. The purpose of the current article is to discuss its applications in treating school-related problems, discuss the difference between clinical hypnosis and meditation, address potential misconceptions, provide resources for training, and describe the components of hypnosis.
