“…Most importantly, the ability to produce novel and varied experiences can arouse in them a sense of hope that depression can be controlled or at least modified. DePiano and Salzberg (1981) considered such positive experiences to be partly responsible for the rapid and profound behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and physiological changes observed in patients experiencing hypnosis.…”

“…Hypnosis has been reported to be useful in criminal cases (Reiser, 1974(Reiser, , 1976Reiser & Nielsen, 1980;Schafer & Rubio, 1978;Stratton, 1977), especially when trauma to the witness is involved. Enhanced memory under hypnosis also obtains in some controlled laboratory experiments (DePiano & Salzberg, 1981;Griffin, 1980;Stager & Lundy, 1985). On the whole, though, the evidence about memory under hypnosis is mixed.…”

This research compared the effectiveness of three interview procedures for optimizing eyewitness memory performance: (a) the "cognitive interview" based on memory-retrieval mnemonics from current memory theory, (b) the presently controversial hypnosis interview, and (c) the standard (control) police interview. These methods were evaluated empirically in a controlled, yet ecologically valid, laboratory setting. Eighty-nine subjects viewed police training films of simulated violent crimes and were questioned individually in interactive interviews 48 hours later by experienced law-enforcement personnel. Both the cognitive and hypnosis procedures elicited a significantly greater number of correct items of information from the subjects than did the standard interview. This result, which held even for the most critical facts from the films, was most pronounced for crime scenarios in which the density of events was high. The number of incorrect items of information generated did not differ across the three interview conditions. The observed memory enhancement was interpreted in terms of the memory-guidance techniques common to both the cognitive and hypnosis interviews. Neither differential questioning time nor heightened subject or interviewer motivation could explain the results.

“…All the clients from the study reported that they were able to relax completely and felt empowered that they were able to let go of their anxiety and worries, and consequently they noticed an improvement in their speech. Alladin and others (Alladin, 2007;Alladin & Alibhai, 2007;Amundson, 2011), DePiano andSalzberg (1981), and Yapko (2003) believe such changes are partly responsible for the rapid and profound behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and physiological changes observed in clients experiencing hypnosis. It is well known that at the onset of stuttering the speakers are unaware of the problem, but over time, as the disturbance persists, the majority of the stutterers acquire anticipatory and social anxiety (Craig & Tran, 2006).…”
