Hypnosis is a state of mind that is characterized by focused attention and heightened receptivity for suggestions. It is either established by compliance with instructions or achieved naturally; the critical nature of the mind is bypassed during hypnosis and acceptable suggestions are delivered. Misperceptions about hypnosis by clinical practitioners and their clients have been shaped through years of inaccurate but interesting portrayals of hypnosis in books, plays, and movies. Part of the misperceptions is that individuals with seemingly magical powers to manipulate the unsuspecting innocent with their authoritative voice commands and penetrating eyes are depicted as hypnotists. This chapter will review the traditional and conventional approaches used in hypnosis, their advantages and disadvantages as well as where hypnosis is used as a complementary or alternative therapy to the modern day orthodox medicine. Despite the pejorative image display of hypnosis and misconceptions surrounding it, hypnosis still has numerous applications in contemporary medicine. Hypnotherapy conducted by a trained therapist is considered as a complementary or safe alternative to present day orthodox medication for numerous ailments.

“…Hypnosis is contra-indicated in actively suicidal patients and patients with psychotic symptoms. Experts in the field of hypnosis have either totally ignored or openly suggested that hypnosis is contra-indicated in the treatment of depression [24]. The traditional view regarding the use of hypnotherapy for depressed patients is that extreme caution needs to be exercised.…”

Certain Bio-Cognitive and Quantum Views of Depression

Depression has been considered essentially a psycho-bio, social condition. In this paper, a hypnotic/quantum approach to understanding depression is attempted and parallel or co-thinking is designated as quantum thinking, one of the main sources of depressive cognitions. It is the flexibility of the quantum brain that accounts for cognitive distortions. Hypnosis may involve a spectrum of quantum consciousness and has great research value in uncovering non-biological depression. Like many of the alternate states of consciousness, hypnosis may be a neuro-quantum state. In the earlier part of the 2oth century, Frederic Myers recognised that the middle realm of the unconscious mind is the "hypnotic stratum" and is associated with deep hypnosis. The unconscious is increasingly allied with the quantum and it is time to revise the concept of the Freudian unconscious accordingly. The coexistence of a quantum mechanical body and brain is all the time more recognised now in parasciences. If consciousness is transmitted through rather than actually produced by the brain, depression may have a downward causation rather than an upward causation arguable in biological disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Consciousness-based healing is warranted in the treatment of depression. Whether consciousness is the primary generator of clinical depression or it only contributes to the genesis of depression will continue to be a matter for debate in the foreseeable future.
