The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis concluded its 47th Annual Conference in St. Louis. At the March 13th meeting the Executive Committee (EC) and the Board of Governors (BOG) selected an Editor for the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis. After many months of search and careful considerations of exceptional candidates the EC recommend, and the BOG, elected Stephen Lankton, MSW, DAHB, to the position of Editor.

Lankton's goals for the next five years are to use the Journal to help ASCH reach a broader audience of mental health professionals, foster interest in hypnosis, increase membership in ASCH (http://www.asch.net/), and maintain the highest standards for the scientific study of hypnosis. Becoming the Editor of the AJCH is a great honor. Lets all congratulate and support Stephen in carrying out the duties for which he has been entrusted.
