Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit an abstract for presentation at the ESH 2023 Antalya Congress.All types of presentations, from clinical case studies, clinical research, theoretical papers and experimental hypnosis research are welcome. 
The topic of the Congress is “Hypnosis Food for Body and Mind: an Integrated Approach to Healing”. During the Congress we will try to elaborate how the mind, body, and soul can constitute a unique wholeness, and how they can interact and connect with each other. It can be said that the healthier the balance among the mind, body, and soul, the healthier the person is.  So, we would like to discuss together the use of hypnosis to achieve this balance by using an integrative approach in Medicine, Dentistry and Psychology.
