“…In contrast with the first statement, there is conflicting evidence as to how much hypnosis in general may enhance accurate information, if at all, in laboratory and naturalistic settings (Mazzoni, Laurence, & Heap, 2014; Pettinati, 1988). Nor do hypnotic procedures seem to produce a sudden great increase in ability or strength beyond that produced by a strong motivation, although it has proven to be a very useful technique to enhance athletic (Morgan, 1993) and artistic (Council, Bromley, Zabelina, & Waters, 2007) performance.…”

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 section argues that descriptions of alternative selves or sets of mental processes, central to the hypnosis literature, provide insights into contemporary discussions of dissociative and nonconscious processes and the constructive nature of identity. The final section focuses on how hypnosis has emphasized sociocultural interactions, helping illuminate the intersubjective construal of conscious experience. Far from being an outdated set of theories, techniques, and data, hypnosis has much to offer to our understanding of consciousness.

“…Furthermore, Hull explained the equivocal nature of this experimentation as being due to design flaws.

Hypnosis in Sport and Exercise Psychologyt is remarkable that hypnosis has not been used more frequently by I workers in the field of sport and exercise psychology because the difference between success and failure is often minuscule. Indeed, the difference between a gold medal in Olympic competition and failure to even qualify for the final event is sometimes less than a hundredth of a second. Hence, any ergogenic procedure that might enhance performance by even a small margin (e.g., O.OOl%), providing it is legal, would have potential value.At this point in time, the use of hypnosis has not been banned by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) or the International Olympic Committee (IOC), nor are there any regulations against the use of hypnosis by other sport governing bodies, such as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or professional organizations, such as the American Psychological Association (AF'A) or the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). There are, however, many instances in which the use of hypnosis in the practice of sport psychology or sports medicine would be questionable from both an ethical and a moral standpoint, and although not in direct violation of existing rules and codes, such actions would potentially violate the "spirit of the law." It is inappropriate, for example, to use drugs such as morphine or no-Adapted from The Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis (pp. 649-670).

“…An adult learner also does well by building on one's strengths. Applying mental health consultation techniques (Hays, 1992), family systems theory (Zimmerman, Protinsky, & Zimmerman, 1994), or hypnosis (Morgan, 1993), for example, to the sport setting can provide an important framework on which to attach new learning and practice.…”

The psychologist interested in expanding or diversifying practice will find the relatively new field of applied sport psychology rich in opportunities for learning, collaboration, and development. Exercise can be an important adjunct to psychotherapy, and psychological skills training offers systematic methods for performance improvement. Sport psychology is derived from a blending of sport science and psychology, and practitioner psychologists bring unique skills to this domain. Building on already developed areas of expertise, the psychologist can apply new skills to different populations in diverse settings. At the same time, the practitioner with an interest in sport psychology should obtain sufficient training, consider credentialing, and recognize ethical issues particular to this field.
