A Guide To Hypnosis

[jakeo...@aol.com]

Many people’s perception of hypnosis is what they have seen or heard
of from stage shows. They see people “under” the hypnotists “control”.
People may be “made” to dance like Elvis, or think that they are a
child again.

Hypnosis involves a person's ability to set aside critical judgment
without relinquishing it completely, and to engage in make-believe and
fantasy (Gill & Brenman, 1959; E. R. Hilgard, 1977). Hypnosis can help
us to absorb suggestions that we want to accept, and can enhance our
powers of visualisation. A small proportion of people can be
hypnotised so that they almost believe what they can see a pink
elephant, or an audience naked when they put on ‘special glasses’.
However they are not really “under” anyone’s control. This is an
illusion created largely by showmanship and peer pressure.
