Program & Abstract Book 2019 2nd OFFICIAL SIPS CONFERENCE ON PLACEBO STUDIES Program & Abstract book July 7 - 9, 2019 Leiden, the Netherlands Welcome Dear attendee of the 2019 SIPS conference, It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd official Society for Interdisciplinary Placebo Studies (SIPS) conference on placebo studies. The conference venue is the beautiful historic Stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden, the Netherlands. This second edition of the SIPS conference promises to be very inspiring. We highly appreciate that so many researchers contributed to the rich and varied conference program and made their way to attend the conference. The SIPS conference is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of placebo effects. It focuses on medical, psychosocial, philosophical, and neurobiological research on placebo and nocebo effects, and also addresses ethical dilemmas and treatment options. The range of topics mirrors the efforts of SIPS to advance research on knowledge of placebo and nocebo effects and to eventually improve clinical care. Next to the keynote speakers and the invited speakers, we are pleased to offer a diverse scientific program due to the many submitted contributions, with different parallel sessions to choose from. We are also very pleased to invite you to the conference dinner which will take place on Monday evening July 8, at beachclub BAIT in Wassenaar. The busses for the dinner will leave at 7 PM from the Stadsgehoorzaal in Leiden and will return to the conference location at 11 PM. We hope that this conference will foster the exchange of new ideas and promote new contacts between researchers on the placebo effect. We wish you an inspirational and fruitful conference, and hope that you will enjoy everything the conference and the beautiful city of Leiden has to offer! Sincerely, On behalf of the SIPS conference and steering committees, Andrea W.M.

Se describe un método estructurado de auto-hipnosis “despierta” -auto-hipnosis rápida-, creado desde una vertiente cognitivo-comportamental y validado empíricamente. Se detallan algunas de sus aplicaciones clínicas desde una perspectiva de habilidades generales de afronta- miento y auto-control. En ellas se enfatiza la utilización de las sugestiones en la vida co- tidiana, mientras la persona realiza su actividad, con los ojos abiertos y estando activo. Se evitan referencias a estados alterados de conciencia, trance o aspectos esotéricos de la hipnosis. A structured self-hypnosis method -rapid self-hypnosis- is described. This met- hod has been created from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, and has received empiri- cal validation. Some clinical applications of rapid self-hypnosis are shown from a coping skills and self-control orientation. From this perspective, the use of the method in every- day activities are emphasized. Clients can use suggestions while keeping their eyes open and being active. Mention to altered states of consciousness, trance o esoteric ideas is absolutely avoided.

    STAGE HYPNOSIS IN THE SHADOW OF SVENGALI: HISTORICAL INFLUENCES, PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS, AND CONTEMPORARY PRACTICES Cynthia Stroud A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2013 Committee: Dr. Lesa Lockford, Advisor Dr. Richard Anderson Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Ronald E. Shields © 2013 Cynthia Stroud All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Lesa Lockford, Advisor This dissertation examines stage hypnosis as a contemporary popular entertainment form and investigates the relationship between public perceptions of stage hypnosis and the ways in which it is experienced and practiced. Heretofore, little scholarly attention has been paid to stage hypnosis as a performance phenomenon; most existing scholarship provides psychological or historical perspectives. In this investigation, I employ qualitative research methodologies including close reading, personal interviews, and participant-observation, in order to explore three questions. First, what is stage hypnosis? To answer this, I use examples from performances and from guidebooks for stage hypnotists to describe structural and performance conventions of stage hypnosis shows and to identify some similarities with shortform improvisational comedy. Second, what are some common public perceptions about stage hypnosis? To answer this, I analyze historical narratives, literary and dramatic works, film, television, and digital media. I identify nine

  • Master-Class: Hypnosis, Placebo and the Power of Suggestion
    האגודה הישראלית להיפנוזה והמכללה האקדמית תל-אביב-יפו מזמינות לסמינר של מרצה-אורח פרופ' אירווין קירש (בריטניה, ארה''ב) בנושא: Master-Class: Hypnosis, Placebo and the Power of Suggestion Depending on the condition being treated, the placebo effect can be powerful and long-lasting. The response to antidepressants, for example, is largely due to the placebo effect. Although many doctors admit to giving placebos to patients, medical associations argue that this is an unethical practice, because it involves deceiving patients. I will explore the empirical evidence supporting three options for non-deceptive use of the placebo in clinical practice: 1) methods of enhancing the placebo component of active treatments, 2) the use of ‘open-label’ placebos, and 3) hypnosis. If nothing else, hypnosis can be thought of as a non-deceptive placebo. Recent neuroimaging data has shed light on the state of consciousness produced by hypnotic inductions. They confirm that even the most rare hypnotic responses can be produced without the induction of hypnosis and also that inductions can enhance responsiveness to suggestion. Translations to clinical practice are explored. הסמינר יתקיים ביום רביעי על מנת להירשם 15.2.12 יש לשלוח המחאה על סך 100 ש" ח על שם " האגודה הישראלית להיפנוזה" בין השעות 16:00 – 20:00 לכתובת ה: אגודה הישראלית להיפנוזה במכללה האקדמית תל אביב – יפו ת.ד. 14044תל אביב 61140 אולם 007 בניין וסטון למדעי המחשב (בקומת הכניסה). טל. 03-6320573 נ א לצרף בנוסף שם מלא ומספר טלפון לשאלות אתם יכולים להתקשר ולהשאיר פרטים בטלפון 052-2533239 Irving Kirsch is Associate Director of the Program in Placebo Studies at the Harvard Medical School, lecturer in medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Professor of Psychology at the University of Plymouth (UK), and Professor Emeritus at the University of Hull and the University of Connecticut.

The unanimous consensus was that conventional definitions of hypnosis and hypnotizability are logically inconsistent and that at least one of them needed to be changed. Participants were divided between the alternatives of (1) broadening the opera- tional definition of hypnosis so as to include responding to so-called waking suggestion and (2) limiting the term ‘hypnotizability’ to the effects of administering a hypnotic induction. Key words: suggestion, suggestibility, hypnosis, hypnotizability In 1973, Ernest R. Hilgard wrote his influential article entitled ‘The Domain of Hypnosis’, in which he also referred to the broader ‘domain of suggestion’. Hypnosis is part of that broader domain, but it is not identical to it. The domain of suggestion includes, for example, responses to placebo treatments, the effects of misleading information on memory, and sensory suggestibility. Although each of these constituent parts of the domain of sugges- tion has been studied intensively, with the exception of the pioneering work of Vladimir Gheorghiu (e.g.
