Hypnosis with defendants: does it really work?

There is controversy in the courts about the admissibility of statements by victims, eyewitnesses, and defendants following hypnosis. The scientific community has strongly influenced many court decisions about credibility, reliability, and admissibility of memory retrieval where hypnosis is used. The author presents two case histories of defendants whose memories were refreshed by hypnosis. He presents current court rulings on the use of hypnosis and discusses their impact on laboratory data involving memory and reliability.

Hypnosis in family medicine.

Hypnosis can be a useful adjunct to other treatment modalities. For example, hypnosis may induce a level of relaxation that allows patients to cooperate more easily with conventional treatment. The often dramatic historical background of hypnosis has led to misconceptions about hypnotic technique and its clinical applications in modern medicine. Hypnosis is useful in the treatment of acute and chronic pain, somatoform and habit disorders, anxiety and depression. Persons who are attempting to stop smoking, patients with bulimia and those with psychogenic impotence may respond to hypnosis.

A hypnotherapeutic approach to exhibitionism: outpatient therapeutic strategy.

A technique to cause cessation of impulse and to shorten the course of treatment for individuals who engage in exhibitionism is described. The patients were carefully selected. The psychodynamics were described and identified for each patient, and the results have been favorable to date. The great advantages of the methods used have been keeping the patient functional in society, shortening the duration of treatment, and reducing cost. The technique has been successful in the treatment of patients suffering from other forms of impulse disorders. Long-term follow-up studies are recommended for any patient receiving this method of hypnotic treatment.
