The areas that must be regulated in this public policy are the fulfillment of national education standards, professional competency registration and certification, hypnotherapy service standards, research and development programs, client cases and complaints, and enforcement of the hypnotherapist's code of ethics by the hypnotherapy ethical board formed by the Hypnotherapy Association.
