Much research has been conducted into the nature and effects of hypnosis and suggestion, and hypnosis continues to be a popular (if somewhat peripheral) tool in contemporary Psychological research.

The exact psychological state of a subject in hypnosis is unclear, and its very existence and effects are strongly debated. The following are some of the more popular theories on the phenomena of hypnosis: Hypnosis - Hypnosis as a state of hysteria.

Hypnosis is popularly understood to be a psychological condition in which an individual may be induced to exhibit apparent changes in behaviour, thought or affect - in particular an alteration in perception or memory. Although some individuals experience an increase in suggestibility and subjective feelings of relaxation, this is not true for everyone as it has been demonstrated that relaxation is not necessary for a hypnotic experience. The procedure by which this i ...

Extra-sensory perception, or ESP, is the name given to any ability to acquire information by means other than the five canonical senses (taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing), or any other sense well-known to science (balance, proprioception, etc).

Unconscious communication (or intuitive) is the transfer of information unconsciously between humans. It is sometimes intrapersonal, like dreaming or cognition under the effects of hypnosis, and is not necessarily nonverbal communication. Research has shown that our conscious attention can attend to 5-9 items simultaneously. All other information is processed by the unconscious mind. Usually our unconscious communication and unconscious behaviour are influenced or dictated by our culture. Communication b ...

Carol Bowman is an author, and the maintainer of a web site dealing with Children's Past Lives, which is also the title of one of her books. In her books and on her web site, she writes about cases of children who seem to recall past lives (spontaneously, that is, without the need for hypnosis). These cases seem to offer some evidence of reincarnation. To some degree, Carol Bowman builds upon the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson, but her books are slanted more toward the casual reader, and generally do not contain the meticulous research and documentation found in Dr. Stevenso ...

Ferdinand Lamaze, having visited Russia, brought back to France "childbirth without pain through the psychological method," which ...

The notion of extra-sensory perception is a very old one, and in many ancient cultures it was taken for granted that certain people had such powers of perception, be it second sight, or the power to communicate with deities, ancestors, or spirits. However, in recent centuries this idea has been widely classified as superstition and denounced as fictitious, or at best unprovable and unscientific. in ancient culture: the Delphic Oracle, shamans, soothsayers, ...

Proponents of the existence of ESP point to numerous scientific studies that appear to offer evidence of the phenomenon's existence: the work of J. B. Rhine, a botanist at Duke University in the 1930s, and of Russell Targ and Harold E. Puthoff, physicists at SRI International in the 1970s, are often cited in arguments that ESP exists. Those who believe ESP does not exist point to methodological flaws in such studies[1], and point to numerous other ESP studies which have failed to find any evidence of the phenomenon. Many modern scient ...

Erickson is most famous as a hypnotherapist, but his extensive research into and experience with hypnosis led him to develop an effective therapeutic technique. Many of these techniques are not explicitly hypnotic, but they are extensions of hypnotic strategies and language patterns. Erickson recgonised that resistance to trance resembles resistance to change, and developed his therapeutic approach with that awareness. Jay Haley identified several strategies, which appeared repeatedly in Erickson's therapeutic approach. E ...
