Abstract
Extract
In May 2024, the songwriter Richard Sherman died at the age of 94. Together with his brother Robert, he wrote numerous memorable songs for the Disney film studios, including "Trust in Me" for the original Jungle Book animated film, during which the python Kaa hypnotises the suggestible man-cub Mowgli and takes control of his actions to great comic effect. Such is the popular view of hypnosis, a term popularised by the Scottish surgeon James Braid in 1841 for an induced mental state of extreme focus and increased susceptibility [1]. Hypnotherapy describes the application of this technique to medical problems as diverse as anxiety disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pain control [2–4] – with mixed results. Advocates of hypnotherapy are convinced of its benefits, but critics highlight that this treatment is often combined with other therapies and that good quality randomised controlled trial evidence of effectiveness is largely lacking.
