Hypnotism - dispelling the myths......

Read the caption for more information


Hypnosis is a normal activity of a normal mind through which attention is more focused, critical judgment is partially suspended, and peripheral awareness is diminished.

The trance state, being a function of the subject's mind, cannot be forcibly projected by an
outside person.

The hypnotist aid in the achievement of a trance state and uses its uncritical, intense focus to facilitate the acceptance of new thoughts and feelings, thereby accelerating therapeutic change.

The process of hypnosis takes the hypnotizability trait and transforms it into the hypnotized state.

4 to 6 percent of the general population are low hypnotizable. High hypnotizables represent 8 to 10 percent of the general population

Experiencing the hypnotic concentration state requires a convergence of three essential components: absorption, dissociation, and suggestibility.

1) Absorption is an ability to reduce peripheral awareness that results in a greater focal attention

2) Dissociation is the separating out from consciousness elements of the patient's identity - components of self-awareness, time, perception, and physical activity can occur without being known to the patient's consciousness and so may seem involuntary

3) Suggestibility is the tendency of the hypnotized patient to accept signals and information with a relative suspension of normal critical judgment

A patient's degree of hypnotizability and the technique of hypnosis are clinically useful in diagnosis and in treatment, respectively.

Hypnosis' effectiveness in facilitating acceptance of new thoughts and feelings makes it useful in treating habitual problems.
