Hypnos and psyche: How hypnosis has contributed to the study of consciousness.

Abstract: The field of hypnosis anticipated the current interest in consciousness and has contributed in many ways to its conceptualization and research. This paper is divided into 3 sections. The first describes how hypnosis has enriched the study of alterations of consciousness, considered as dynamic processes subject to important individual differences. This section also considers how hypnosis offers an expanded but cautious view of human potentialities, including the possibility of anomalous cognition. The second se… Show more

“…Hypnosis and hypnotic suggestions have been shown to be useful experimental tools to test theories of cognitive neuroscience (Oakley & Halligan, 2013;Raz, 2011), especially theories related to consciousness (Cardeña, 2014;Terhune, Cleeremans, Raz, & Lynn, 2017). For instance, hypnotic suggestions can evoke changes in the feeling of voluntariness (Weitzenhoffer, 1974(Weitzenhoffer, , 1980 or modify one`s sense of agency (Haggard, Cartledge, Dafydd, & Oakley, 2004;Lush et al, 2017;Polito, Barnier, & Woody, 2013).…”

“…Klaszteranalízissel végzett vizsgálatunkból inkább az élmények komplementer jellegére következtethetünk (Józsa, 2012a). Harmadsorban, a hipnózis fenomenológiájának és interakciós elemeinek tanulmányozása más pszichológiai jelenségek megértésében is fontos kutatási eszköz lehet (Cox és Bryant, 2008), amelyek között kiemelten fontos terület a tudat működése (Cardeña, 2014).…”

“…This disparity introduces a tension between the desire to develop a science that generalizes to an entire population and the need to develop personalized therapeutic tools adaptable to single cases. While this issue permeates the clinical realm as a whole, it remains particularly pervasive in the case of hypnosis where individuals are capable of using a wide variety of mental strategies to generate the hypnotic response (31,42,43). Hence, the rigor imposed by the scientific method does not correspond to the adaptability of clinical approaches.…”

“…The principle of equifinality, which applies to hypnotic phenomena, states that different means can lead to the same end state. In other words, distinct cognitive strategies may lead individuals to achieve similar hypnotic responses (42). Supporting this view, mounting evidence highlights heterogeneity amongst individuals who are highly susceptible to hypnosis, thereby implying that reliable hypnotic responses may occur through several cognitive and phenomenological profiles (63)(64)(65)(66).…”
