“…Based on his earlier work on hypnotic age regression (Spiegel, Fishman, & Shor, 1945), Herb had identified subjects who appeared to experience "regression in the present tense." That is, these subjects, when regressed to an earlier biological age demonstrated developmental response patterns consistent with someone at that age.…”

Herb Spiegel was known for many professional and scientific achievements. He may be best remembered for his discovery of the Eye Roll Sign (ERS) and its relation to innate trance capacity and the parallel creation and development of the Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP). The present paper provides a historical context for understanding Herb's 1972 publication of "An Eye Roll Test for Hypnotizability" which originally appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 38 years ago and is reprinted in this journal issue.

“…When Penfield claimed to be using his surgical probe to produce buried memories -if very different ones, unrelated to trauma -the response of some therapists was therefore one of awe at the possible implications for their understanding of the mind itself. For the prominent New York analyst Lawrence Kubie, it proved "the literalness with which past moments are permanently stored as discrete units" (Kubie 1953, 194; and see also Spiegel, Shor, and Fishman 1945). There was "no limit to the possible value of [Penfield's] observations for the future development of psychotherapeutic techniques through their interrelation with neurophysiology."…”

ArgumentThis paper explores the relationship between the medium of motion-picture film and the representation of autobiographical memory during the middle decades of the twentieth century. The paper argues that a reciprocal relationship developed between film and memory, in which film was understood as an externalized form of memory, and memory an internalized record of personal experience similar in many respects to film. Memory was often represented as an object-like entity, preserved in stable form within the body, and able to be extracted by the right stimulus or trigger. A particularly important community in which this representation was developed was psychotherapeutic practitioners with psychoanalytic orientations, particularly during and shortly after the Second World War. In special circumstances, therapists and others claimed, records of past life events could be projected, film-like, onto the screen of an individual's conscious, replaying previous experiences in real time. The paper develops a social historical account of this relationship, and reflects on its significance for the history of selfhood in the twentieth century.

“…21 The aspect of age regression that is directly relevant to the Panel's delib¬ erations concerns the historical accu¬ racy of the recalled material. Although this claim has not been supported by carefully controlled scientific stud¬ ies,2" there is still some controversy about this matter based on single case reports.…”
