An online survey of 103 clinicians using hypnosis was conducted to gain a broad real-world view of current practices, experiences, and perspectives on clinical hypnosis in Brazil. This research replicated a form focused on identifying clinical hypnosis practices across 31 countries, contributing to a global perspective on this intervention modality. The present study employed descriptive statistics in its data analysis. According to respondents, among the 36 most common uses of hypnosis, improving well-being, enhancing self-esteem, reducing stress, and controlling specific phobias and anxiety were reported as the most clinically effective applications. In Brazil, 90.3% of hypnotherapists do not consider hypnotizability relevant to the success of hypnotherapy. Concerns were raised about the technical-professional training of Brazilian hypnotherapists. This is the first investigation into hypnosis practices in Brazil. Although hypnosis has been regulated for over two decades by professional health councils, such as the Federal Council of Medicine and the Federal Council of Psychology, efforts to promote evidence-based practices must be made to address the identified gaps.
对103位使用催眠疗法的临床医生进行了一项在线调查，以全面了解巴西当前临床催眠疗法的实际应用、经验及观点。这项研究沿用了一份聚焦于识别31个国家临床催眠疗法应用情况的表格，有助于从全球视角看待这种干预方式。本研究在数据分析中采用了描述性统计方法。据受访者称，在催眠疗法36种最常见的用途中，改善幸福感、增强自尊、减轻压力以及控制特定恐惧症和焦虑被报告为临床效果最佳的应用。在巴西，90.3%的催眠治疗师认为可催眠性与催眠疗法的成功无关。人们对巴西催眠治疗师的技术专业培训提出了担忧。这是巴西首次对催眠疗法应用情况进行调查。尽管专业健康委员会（如联邦医学委员会和联邦心理学委员会）对催眠疗法进行监管已超过二十年，但仍需努力推广循证实践，以弥补已发现的差距。
