In his introductory remarks to this Journal's special issue on the status of hypnosis as an empirically supported clinical intervention, the editor briefly describes the dawn of clinical hypnosis research, the logic of the natural science model, the importance of an inspired but tough-minded clinical science, and the auspicious confluence of practice and research purpose in this enterprise. The progenitor of this effort was indeed the Report of the Royal Commission coauthored by Benjamin Franklin and Antoine Lavoisier, among others, more than 215 years ago--a report noted as one of the most important documents in the history of human reason. The ethos and logic of this special issue is grounded on the legacy of that document. Eschewing the conflicting mental health agendas of managed-care, government, patient rights, and professional guild interests, this special issue seeks to present a frank, evenhanded, informed, and dispassionate assessment of what science knows and does not know about clinical hypnosis.
在为本杂志关于催眠术作为一种经实证支持的临床干预手段的地位的特刊所作的引言中，编辑简要描述了临床催眠术研究的开端、自然科学模型的逻辑、富有灵感但又意志坚定的临床科学的重要性，以及在这项事业中实践与研究目的的吉祥融合。这项努力的先驱实际上是215多年前由本杰明·富兰克林和安托万·拉瓦锡等人共同撰写的皇家委员会报告——该报告被誉为人类理性史上最重要的文献之一。本期特刊的精神和逻辑正是基于该文献的遗产。本期特刊避开了管理式医疗、政府、患者权利和专业协会利益等相互冲突的心理健康议程，力求对科学所知和未知的临床催眠术进行坦率、公正、明智和冷静的评估。
