The International Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (ISCEH), was organized in 1958 and later re-named the International Society of Hypnosis (ISH). Conflicts between The Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (SCEH) and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) caused the initial split; eventually, however, the cooperation of both of these organizations along with other international groups, supported the reorganization and renaming of ISCEH to The International Society of Hypnosis.
