First, this ideology that hypnosis leads participants to have heightened confidence levels in their memory recall can result in a testimony that can sway a jury and possibly lead to the false incarceration of an innocent person. Second, the research that was conducted also concludes that hypnosis does not improve memory; people in a hypnotic state are as likely to incorporate irrelevant information into their testimonies as regular people are. This makes the recall elicited under hypnosis as reliable as the memory produced regularly. Accuracy levels among the memories recalled in the studies signify that memories recalled under hypnosis are no more accurate than the memories of a regular eye-witness. With regards to the case, the testimony provided by Mrs. Walter should be deemed inadmissible because any information provided to the court through the use of hypnosis should be disregarded, as it does not add any value to the memory Mrs. Walter is trying to

In “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the story of a woman suffering from postpartum depression in the nineteenth century is told. Since the condition, and mental illnesses in general, had not yet been thoroughly studied or diagnosed, physicians of the time had developed their own treatment, which the woman in the story is forced to take part in; the results are most certainly not what her husband must have intended. In the story, there are also several connections to the modern articles, “Rest Cure” from Science Museum and “Depression During and After Pregnancy” from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. An example would be the easy exhaustion of the narrator, even though she is allowed to do very little in the

It is a widely-known popular believe that hypnosis can unlock repressed or hidden memories. With so many television shows and movies suggesting that the use of hypnosis may help a witness to remember the face of a criminal or the exact details of an event, it is no surprise that hypnosis has taken root as a credible method of memory retrieval. As an article from the American Psychological Association states, “… people may believe hypnotically induced memories are more reliable, mirroring a mistaken cultural belief that hypnosis acts like a truth serum. Hypnosis is "on thin ice" when used to recover memories, as is the case with most other memory retrieval techniques” (Smith).

The techniques used are based on validated research findings, which reveal that problems or disturbances are consequences of destructive and problematic forms of self-hypnosis.
