Hypnotic Reality
Vivid imagination and hypnotisability are not the same thing. What relaxation actually does in hypnosis, and why the two are routinely confused.
It's all a matter of having a good imagination.
The Truth About Experiencing Hypnosis
Ability to imagine vividly is unrelated to hypnotisability.
Relaxation is an important feature of hypnosis.
It's not. Hypnosis has been induced during vigorous exercise.
Many highly motivated subjects fail to experience hypnosis.
Physiological responses indicate that hypnotised subjects are not lying.
Standard hypnotic procedures are no more distressing than lectures.
It has something to do with a sleeplike state.
It does not. Hypnotised subjects are fully awake.
Responding to hypnosis is like responding to a placebo.
Placebo responsiveness and hypnotisability are not correlated.
People with certain types of personalities are likely to be more hypnotisable.
There are no substantial correlates with personality measures.
People who are hypnotised lose control of themselves.
Subjects are perfectly capable of saying no or terminating hypnosis.
Hypnosis can enable people to "relive" the past.
Age-regressed adults behave like adults play acting as children.
A person's responsiveness to hypnosis depends on the technique used and who administers it.
Neither is important under laboratory conditions. It is the subject's capacity that is important.
When hypnotised, people can remember more accurately.
Hypnosis may actually muddle the distinction between memory and fantasy and may artificially inflate confidence.
Hypnotised people can be led to do acts that conflict with their values.
Hypnotised subjects fully adhere to their usual moral standards.
Hypnotised people do not remember what happened during the session.
Post hypnotic amnesia does not occur spontaneously.
Hypnosis can enable people to perform otherwise impossible feats of strength, endurance, learning and sensory acuity.
Performance following hypnotic suggestions for increased muscle strength, learning and sensory acuity does not exceed what can be accomplished by motivated subjects outside hypnosis.
