“…Some youth are more imaginative than others (Mahler, 2015). Porter (1978) proposed alternatives for individuals who are not able to generate imagery, such as pretending their mind is a TV screen with the scene playing or "feeling as if" rather than directly imagining (p. 67).…”

“…The professional provides suggestions for the individual to experience a relaxed state through his or her whole body. This aspect involves instructing the individual to engage in controlled breathing while also overtly thinking about relaxing and letting go (Porter, 1978). Mahler (2015) further noted that "children love to float on clouds of different colors, while inhaling fresh and pure air with a specific perfume, tasting small pieces of the cotton candy with healing or re-enforcing properties" (p. 123).…”

H ypnosis is considered a mind-body intervention given its influences on perception and physical sensations. Perceptual changes occur as an individual engages in imagination and visualization. Somatic effects have been noted in its application to treat headaches, pain, and gastrointestinal distress. Current research on the efficacy of hypnotic interventions has been limited, although historically, several studies or case reviews have documented hypnosis as a promising approach when addressing those health-related complaints, reducing anxiety, and bolstering confidence, focus, and motivation for academic performance. In this chapter, we review the benefits of hypnosis with students in more detail, along with practical and ethical considerations for implementing hypnosis in schools. OVERVIEW OF CLINICAL HYPNOSISTwo leading organizations have put forth definitions of hypnosis. In 2014, the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH; 2019b) described hypnosis as an altered state of awareness, perception or consciousness that is used, by licensed and trained doctors or masters prepared individuals, for treating a psychological or physical problem.

This paper reports the effects of self-hypnosis used by 51 college students enrolled in a 10-week course on efficient learning skills. All students were administered the Creative Imagination Scale. Subsequently, they learned to enter and deepen alert self-hypnosis. They gave themselves personal suggestions and then studied in hypnosis. They reported their depth of hypnosis and satisfaction with each session. Grades were collected the quarter before, during and after the course. Satisfaction and depth data indicated the students were involved all through the course. Statistical testing showed that students who scored highest on the CIS had the lowest initial GPA, improved most during the course, and significantly increased their GPA in the quarter after.

The experiment assessed the effects of a set of positive suggestions on mood states. Each of 63 undergraduate volunteers (32 males, 31 females) who completed the experiment was paid $20.00. Subjects were assigned randomly to a Treatment Group or a no-treatment Control Group. Treatment Group subjects listened to the same set of positive suggestions in each of four treatment sessions scheduled over a 2-week period. The Profile of Mood states (POMS) was used to measure six mood states (dependent variables). Hypotheses were tested (p < .01) by a multivariate analysis of variance of posttest POMS scores. There was no evidence of significant change in the mood states of subjects following the administration of a set of positive suggestions. Clinicians need to identify other psychotherapeutic techniques which may have escaped empirical scrutiny over the years.
