Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Hypnosis An induced state of altered awareness, characterized by heightened suggestibility and deep relaxation Hypnotizability The degree to which an individual is responsive to hypnotic suggestions

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Is Hypnosis … 1. a distinct state of consciousness? 2. simply heightened motivation? People are ‘hypnotized’ because they want to be or expect to be 3. a social process? Role playing to please others or the instructor 4. a dissociative state involving a “hidden observer” in the person’s mind The Hidden Observer is the part of the self that is aware of things outside conscious awareness.

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Hilgard’s Hidden Observer Theory Hypnosis is a dissociated state involving a “hidden observer” in a person’s mind operating in parallel with the normal consciousness Hilgard called the unhypnotized part of the mind the "hidden observer". He argued, a person undergoing hypnosis to manage chronic pain feels no conscious pain; but that does not mean the pain is not there

In one experiment conducted by the Hilgards, subjects were hypnotized and told they would feel no pain or discomfort when an arm was placed in ice water. The subjects reported no pain or discomfort during these procedures. When their "hidden observers" were tapped into, there were reports of pain and discomfort

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Hypnosis As an Altered State Experts disagree about whether hypnosis involves – A distinct state of consciousness – Heightened motivation – Social processes such as role playing – A dissociate state (Hilgard’s “hidden observer” view)

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Practical Uses for Hypnosis Researchers Psychological treatment Medical and dental treatment Hypnotic analgesia – Diminished sensitivity to pain while under hypnosis Curing bad habits such as smoking – posthypnotic suggestion Lamaze Method of Natural Childbirth Uses hypnosis-like procedures to control pain

Meditation A form of consciousness change induced by focusing on a repetitive behavior, assuming certain body positions, and minimizing external stimulation As an altered state of consciousness…that may be a western world view Buddhism teaches that the world is an illusion of the senses, so meditation more accurately captures reality Reduces anxiety, tension, lowers blood pressure and stress hormones, changes brain wave patterns
