“…Over time, that issue has been theorized in terms of transference and object relations (Brown & Fromm, 1986;Smith, 1981), working alliance and empathy (Palaci, 1993;Petot, 2006); motivation and social influence (Kihlstrom, 1985;Orne, 1966;Spanos, 1982), regression and symbiosis (Frauman, Lynn, Hardaway, & Molteni, 1984;Lutz & Fix, 2007) to name just a few.…”

This article considers links between clinical hypnosis, attachment theory, and oxytocin. First, it proposes that commonalities between clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may improve our understanding of the hypnotherapeutic process. Then, it suggests that an integrative model unifying clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may constitute a link between clinical hypnosis and a neurobiological factor such as oxytocin. Finally, it discusses the implications of these hypotheses for clinical practice and future researches.Nowadays an abundant scientific literature acknowledges the therapeutic value of clinical hypnosis (for a review,

“…As empirical research on hypnosis has grown, so too has clinical hypnosis become a viable tool in the armamentarium of many practitioners. An array of theoretical approaches that incorporate hypnotic methods include: (a) psychoanalytic and ego state therapy (Brown & Fromm, 1986); (b) cognitive behavioral therapy (Kirsch, Capafons, Cardeña-Buelna, & Amigo, 1999); (c) approaches based on the clinical hypnosis practitioner Milton H. Erickson, who pioneered different forms of indirect suggestions and brief strategic interventions (Erickson, Rossi, & Rossi, 1976); and, most recently, (d) mindfulness and acceptance-based interventions (Lynn, Malaktaris, Maxwell, Mellinger, & van der Kloet, 2012). In this section, we describe the use of hypnotic suggestion as a therapeutic technique and review its clinical efficacy.…”

Hypnosis is a unique form of top-down regulation in which verbal suggestions are capable of eliciting pronounced changes in a multitude of psychological phenomena. Hypnotic suggestion has been widely used both as a technique for studying basic science questions regarding human consciousness but also as a method for targeting a range of symptoms within a therapeutic context. Here we provide a synthesis of current knowledge regarding the characteristics and neurocognitive mechanisms of hypnosis. We review evidence from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychopathology, and clinical psychology regarding the utility of hypnosis as an experimental method for modulating consciousness, as a model for studying healthy and pathological cognition, and as a therapeutic vehicle. We also highlight the relationships between hypnosis and other psychological phenomena, including the broader domain of suggestion and suggestibility and conclude by identifying the most salient challenges confronting the nascent cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis and outlining future directions for research on hypnosis and suggestion.

“…The effect is highly dependent on the nature of suggestions given and the experiences that are created (Tasso & Perez, 2012). Various descriptions of hypnotic and hypnoanalytic treatment methods are available (Brown & Fromm, 1986;Steven J. Lynn, Rhue, & Kirsch, 2010;Scott, Sr., 1996;Watkins, 1992). One of the most important predictors of a psychotherapy outcome is a positive therapeutic relationship (Cozolino, 2010, p.336).…”

Neuroscience is providing growing evidence that psychopathology is related to neural integration and amygdala-based implicit memories. Understanding the brain provides psychotherapists a guide for treatment, and neuroscience points to hypnosis as a potent treatment tool. Hypnosis affects functional areas of the brain, including the amygdaloid memory system and neural integration. Hypnosis in itself is not curative. Neuroscience, more recent psychotherapy models, and modern understandings of hypnoanalysis appear to confirm Freud's early observations of hypnosis effectiveness and, for his objection that hypnosis works well for some clients but not for others, explain why. Neuroscience's understanding of the development of psychopathology and psychotherapy models give us tools and models Freud did not have. Using age regression (abreaction) in hypnosis in the context of psychotherapy appear to provide direct access to amygdala-based implicit memories during which the content of implicit memories can be explored for the unconscious meaning and for the responses conditioned during traumatic events. With the skilled use of psychotherapy treatment models while a client is in hypnosis, new patterns can be created through neurologically vividly experiences. These vivid experiences create new, reconditioned patterns that appear to reflect direct changes in the amygdala-based implicit memories and neural integration, evidenced by clients' new, automatic responses in previously difficult circumstances. Two case studies illustrate the use of Ego Psychology, Self Psychology, Attachment and Narrative psychotherapy models during hypnotic age regressions to disconnect stimulus-response patterns in a phobia client and provide vivid experiences of attachment and guidance for a borderline client.
