Theories About Hypnosis
There are many theories about what hypnosis is or is not. Listed below are several of them:
Hypnosis as a Permissive State:
This is an older, more traditional perspective. Here the emphasis is on the passive nature of the client, and the stronger, authoritarian position of the hypnotist.Hypnosis and Role Playing:
This is the idea that a separate state of hypnosis does not exist at all, but it is merely a person playing a role of what a hypnotized client is supposed to look and act like. The client will carry out the hypnotist’s suggestions on this basis.Hypnosis as an Altered State of Consciousness:
Here the trance is considered to be a unique and separate state of consciousness, relative to one’s “normal” state of consciousness. In this concept, the trance is a state that is artificially created by
the trance induction process. This alters the person’s consciousness through the narrowing of attention to the offered suggestions.Hypnosis as an Interactional Outcome:
Hypnosis, according to this concept, is a result of a meaningful interaction between hypnotist and client in the sense that they must be attentive and responsive to each other.
If we were to discuss all of the theories about hypnosis that have been presented, we would be here for far longer than the course allows. Suffice to say, a basic understanding of the concepts, listed
above, will help you to explain what hypnosis is to you. This will help you when dealing with the general public, whose main idea of hypnosis is related to the “Svengali Effect.” Presenting a well
thought out idea on hypnosis will help you to be successful with your clients.For further information see Yapko, M: Trancework: An Introduction to the Practice of Clinical Hypnosis, Brunner Mazel Publishers.
