The Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI) was used to evaluate the effects of both texts regarding cognition, emotion, physical experience, and trance depth. In this randomized controlled online study, 178 participants were assigned either to the MTL group or to the TTL group. The PCI and other tests (e.g. Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, State-Trait-Anxiety Inventory) were presented to the participants before and after listening to the hypnosis audio of the respective trance text. There were no significant differences between groups concerning trance depth, emotional, and physical experience. However, on the cognitive-imaginative level it was shown that the TTL group experienced more imaginations (PCI-subdimension \"visual imagery,\" <i>p</i> = .009, <i>d</i> = 0.38) and less cognitive activity (PCI-subdimension \"inner dialogue,\" <i>p</i> = .002, <i>d</i> = 0.40) than the MTL group. The results indicate that TTL increases imagery and decreases cognitive activity to a larger extent than MTL. This further indicates the potential of TTL to facilitate more vivid and intensive trance experiences.</p>","PeriodicalId":254017,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of clinical hypnosis","volume":" ","pages":"146-159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40408742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are few contemporary scientific reports examining the relationship between hypnotizability and psychopathological personality dimensions. The current study explores the connections between abnormal personality in psychiatric patients and the hypnotizability level. Fifty-five patients with anxiety and personality disorders who previously completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) were invited to undergo the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale - Clinical Form (EHS-CF). The hypnotizability scores comprise a normal distribution but shifted toward low scores. Twenty-seven patients were included in the low hypnotizability (LOW) group, and 28 patients in the medium to high (MID-HIGH) group. The number of participants with high scores on the Psychopathic Deviate and Paranoia MMPI-2 clinical scales was significantly higher in the LOW than in the MID-HIGH group. Patterns of associations between hypnotizability and psychopathology differed in the two groups. The results indicate that moderate hypnotizability should be considered a normal trait that has no meaningful relationship with psychopathology, but certain dysfunctional symptoms of personality disorders may entail resistance and a defensive attitude toward the hypnotherapy, resulting in a tendency to obtain lower hypnotizability.</p>","PeriodicalId":254017,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of clinical hypnosis","volume":" ","pages":"160-168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40475611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Age progression therapy techniques in hypnosis.","authors":"Moshe S Torem","doi":"10.1080/00029157.2022.2066430","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00029157.2022.2066430","url":null,"abstract":"The literature of psychotherapy and hypnosis has been dominated by articles and reports on how to best explore the past to better understand, change behavior, and promote healing. Relatively, meager space and attention was given to study and report on using the future to bring about a therapeutic change in behavior and promote healing of illness and recovery of disease. It is indeed an honor and privilege to serve as a guest editor for this special issue of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis devoted to a future focused approach in using hypnosis-mediated age progression as a therapeutic strategy and achieve good therapeutic outcomes. The following lines provide the readers with a summary of the articles in this special issue of the journal. Dr Michael Yapko opens this special issue with his article titled “Encouraging Hindsight in Advance: Age Progression in Therapy and Life.” Yapko questions the belief of many therapists that “the past is what makes us who we are,” justifying an excessive focus on exploring the past. He points out that even hypnosis practitioners who believe in this idea have built a clinical practice focused on ideomotor questioning to find the hypothetical “root cause” of someone’s problems. He points out how important it is that we question whether a past orientation in therapy is truly the most effective way for achieving best lasting therapeutic outcomes and enhancing people’s life. In this article, Yapko builds a convincing and cogent foundation for the great value in adopting a future orientation to therapy strategies. He makes for us a solid connection to the concept of expectancy and expectations therapists and patients have of treatment interventions reminding us that the well-known placebo effect is in fact a relatively concrete symbol of a positive future orientation. Yapko states convincingly that any suggestive communication strategy that orients the client experientially to future events is an age progression pattern. Yapko provides important knowledge of how important a future orientation is in the treatment of clients with depression emphasizing that “the greater the degree of client hopelessness, the more immediate the use of age progression should be.” Age progression strategies help to build skills of foresight, which create not just treatment but also an avenue of prevention. Yapko concludes his contribution clarifying the concepts of content-oriented versus processoriented approaches in utilizing age progression. Moreover, he provides an example with a transcript of using a process-oriented strategy for promoting foresight.
