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.
