Induction In Hypnosis

916 Words4 Pages

Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique in which clinicians make suggestions to individuals who have undergone a procedure to relax and focus their minds. (Kazdin, 2000). The process includes the following six stages: introduction, induction, deepening, therapeutic intervention, awakening and homework. Each stage is very important, as each one plays a different role in the hypnotic process.
After the introduction stage of hypnosis, the induction is done with the intent to get the patient to close his eyes. It can be done in any or all of the modalities or sense – visual (eg: to see arm-lifting), auditory (sound of the therapist’s voice) or tactile (eg: ‘feel your arm lifting’). The mode of induction chosen will vary from person to person, and …show more content…

It is further divided into four types: eye to eye inductions- in which the therapist asks the client to look directly into his eye; fixed spot inductions- in which the patient fixes his gaze on a single spot which does not move; moving spot inductions – in which the patient fixes his gazes on some point which moves; and miscellaneous inductions which use direct suggestions; tactile induction in which the therapist touches the arm of the patient and suggest him to move it upwards, guiding it gently, to achieve catalepsy. Permissive inductions are done by the therapist in a softer tone, and delivered while sitting. The types of permissive inductions are: Vogt’s fractionation inductions which is permissive and informal, repeatedly hypnotising and awakening the client,helping them go a little deeper into trance each time; simple eye closure induction which makes use of a script to make the person relax and close their eyes; relaxation technique;
Eye fixation and roll technique is one in which the patient looks at a spot and direct suggestions of sleep are given. Rapid induction can be used to access deep levels of trance, to shift between modalities incorporate confusion. Arm levitation induction is one in which suggestions are given that the client’s arm is becoming lighter lifting/ floating …show more content…

Thus, it suggests that permissive techniques are more populare with most subjects, while authoritarian techniques might be more effectiveness in certain individuals, depending on personality characteristics (Coyle, 1982). Thus, authoritarian techniques may be more suitable to treat addiction/ poor impulse control problems, eating disorders, emergency situations,

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

According to Milgram, every human has the dual capacity to function as an individual exercising his or her own moral judgement and the capacity to make their own moral decisions based on their personal character. Yet, what happens to an average person who is obedient to authority when it overrides their own moral judgement? It is ironic that “virtues of loyalty, discipline, and self-sacrifice that we value so highly in the individual are the very properties that create destructive organizational engines of war and bind men to malevolent systems of authority” (Miller, Stanley Milgram). His gruesome experiment is considered by some to be one of the darkest in the field. In a series of about 20 experiments, hundreds of decent, well-intentioned

For many years, the US Government has used basic interrogation techniques in order to force information out of prisoners and terrorists. However, after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the US Government initiated what they called “Enhanced Interrogation”. They initiated this process with the goal in mind to get more information out of terrorists or potential terrorists for the prevention of future attacks. No matter how controversial the methods, the CIA’s new methods may have good intentions, but proved ineffective when it mattered most. One method of interrogation used that most people are familiar with is a technique called “waterboarding”.

“… some therapists convinced patients they had been molested or abused as children because of hypnotically induced memories, which often had no evidence to support them. As a result, many innocent people were wrongly accused of abuse in hundreds of court cases” (Smith). Memories can be highly suggestable, so the use of hypnosis with memory is never going to be an exact science. If, for example, one is under hypnosis and is asked a leading question about a memory, fictional or not, their memories may become altered to fit the scenario described. People are often unsettlingly confident in these hypnotically-induced memories (Lilienfeld et al. 73), which can lead to incorrect testimony or

Hypnosis What is hypnosis? Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which an individual loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Its use in therapy, typically to recover repressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion, has been revived but is still controversial (Psychology Today). While hypnosis is often associated with sideshow performances, it's not a magical act.

This is where the patient may revivify a past traumatic experience and start to relive the physical and emotional pain. Under hypnosis it is very important to establish a safe and secure ‘place’ for the patient that they can freely explore their deeper memories without fear. Another advantage of hypnosis is the very relaxed state. A patient in a relaxed state is more open to new ideas of thinking. A session of hypnosis is beneficial for the calm state it creates and it allows the patient in some way to ‘work out’ their

Self Hypnosis Taking a skills training approach, I train my clients in self-hypnosis, what are essentially self-help techniques. 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. Self hypnosis is that internal chattering or self-talk which we all experience in our minds. It can be referred to in a number of ways including cognitions, autosuggestion, self-talk, self-suggestion, self-statements, self-instructions, automatic thoughts etc. Too frequently, internal hypnotic-like talk, these self-suggestions which drive us, influencing our emotions and behaviour, remains for the most part unchallenged.
