Abstract

We describe key aspects of hypnosis that distinguish it from other psychotherapeuticapproaches, argue that hypnosis occupies a unique niche among clinical interventions, andclaim that a substantial body of evidence supports its use across a gamut of psychologicalconditions. Hypnotic techniques are ideally suited to present useful suggestions that canalter subjective, behavioral, and physiological responses; enhance positive treatment expectancies;steer the ongoing flow of spontaneous mental activity and associations; focusattention; engage imagination; enhance rapport; access and bolster personal resources; andfacilitate self-regulation. We contend that a sufficient corpus of theory and research nowexists to extrapolate to a list of 18 “do’s and don’ts” we present that represent a utilitarianapproach to clinical hypnosis to guide its responsible, science-based use in clinical contextsand to supplement existing treatments on an adjunctive basis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
