    The Journal of article Does Clinical Hypnosis Have Anything to Do with Experimental Hypnosis? Michael Heap, PhD* Hypnosis originated as a healing practice and its historical roots can be traced back to the ideas and methods of the physician Franz Anton Mesmer in 18th century Europe. As we now understand it hypnosis is a normal psychological phenomenon that can be in- vestigated in the laboratory and understood in terms of mainstream psychology and the neurosciences. Normally one would expect there to be continuity between experimental research and theory on the one hand and the practical application of hypnosis on the other. In this paper it is suggested that there is reason to question how much the clini- cal application of hypnosis is informed by the non-clinical scientific evidence and even whether clinicians can be said to be using hypnosis as it is now defined and understood in the academic literature. These matters are also briefly addressed by reference to certain other contexts in which hypnosis is applied. The historical antecedents of Introduction modern hypnosis Implicit or explicit in most descriptions of hyp- A good starting point for this enquiry is to remind nosis are two key components, namely the ‘hyp- ourselves of the historical development of modern notic trance’ (or ‘altered state of consciousness’) hypnosis, the true origins of which can be traced and the use of suggestion.

  • Magnétisme Animal
    Magnétisme animal Le magnétisme animal, aussi appelé mesmérisme, est un ensemble d'anciennes théories et pratiques thérapeutiques qui se e e développèrent de la fin du XVIII siècle à la fin du XIX siècle en Occident et qui eurent un impact important sur le 1 développement de la médecine, de la psychologie et de la parapsychologie . Le médecin allemand Franz-Anton Mesmer, qui postulait l'existence d'un fluide magnétique universel dont on pouvait faire une utilisation thérapeutique, introduisit l'expression magnétisme animal en 1773. Il avait l'ambition de donner une interprétation rationnelle à des phénomènes que l'on peut décrire sous le terme général de « transe » et qui, tels quels, 2 semblent désigner l'irrationnel ou la magie . Alors qu'il se voulait fondateur de science, ramenant ce qui relevait jusque-là du 3 surnaturel à l'étude des propriétés d'un fluide naturel, il est devenu l'archétype du charlatan et le magnétisme animal 4 l'archétype d'une pseudo-science . Véritable phénomène de société, le magnétisme animal a fait l'objet de nombreuses polémiques, notamment en France, avec la Faculté de Médecine qui a condamné cette pratique pour les médecins dès 1784. Cela n'a pas empêché le magnétisme animal de continuer à se répandre sous diverses formes, certains magnétiseurs continuant à attribuer ses effets au fluide de Mesmer, d'autres les attribuant à la volonté ou à l'imagination du magnétiseur et du magnétisé. Ces derniers sont à l'origine de 5 théories sur l'hypnose développées par des médecins comme James Braid ou Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault.

    Biological Psychology Unit Two AH Mr. Cline Marshall High School Psychology * Altered States • Meditation • As you just experienced, Guided meditation is one way that you can learn to focus your attention. • Another way that you can tune out the noise and concentrate your thoughts is by repeating a mantra or phrase. • For example, in the Hindu religion, meditation is considered an important facet of their religion, and they chant the sacred “Ohm” to reach these alternate states. • So, you can reach an altered state of consciousness through meditation and relaxation techniques. • When you focus your attention and increase awareness of your own physical and mental processes, it's possible to ignore the distractions of the outside world. • Meditation has been shown to have positive effects on its practitioners, including reduced stress levels and improved physical and mental health. * Altered States • Meditation • Meditation leads to increased alpha and theta brainwaves, which are linked to relaxed states of mind. • Hypnosis • Close your eyes. Slowly open them. Close your eyes again. Notice how good it feels to rest. Slowly open them. Close them again. Your eyelids feel heavy. Slowly open them. Close them again. Each time you open them, your eyelids feel heavier and heavier. You're getting very sleepy. • If you're open to the power of suggestion, you may be more easily put in an altered state through hypnosis than someone who's less susceptible to conformity, obedience and suggestion. • Under hypnosis, your perception and actions are influenced by the hypnotist's suggestions. • Freud hypnotized his patients in an attempt to bring their unconscious desires to the surface.

  • Women's History Month
    Women’s History Month: “If it isn’t fun, what is it?” contributed by Lizette Royer Barton; to access on WordPress, click here. I asked my colleagues who their favorite women were in our collections. Here are a few of the responses. Processing Archivist Emily Gainer replied with Erika Fromm. Emily processed the Fromm papers a few years ago and you can review the finding aid for the 115-box collection here: Erika Fromm finding aid. Emily told me, “At one point, she [Erika Fromm] had a student harassing/stalking her. Campus admin told her if he called, not to answer. She said she would answer, because that’s what she does – help people.” Erika Fromm (1909-2003) earned her PhD in experimental psychology in 1933 from the University of Frankfurt while studying with Max Wertheimer (Emily processed those papers too); worked as a research associate in clinical psychology in the Department of Psychiatry, Wilhelmina Gasthuis (University Clinics), Amsterdam; established the first psychology laboratory in a Dutch state hospital; fled the damn Nazi’s; and eventually emigrated to Chicago, IL where she established a private psychotherapy practice and became a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. Being a foremost expert on hypnosis and hypnoanalysis, Erika Fromm was approached by psychologists in Germany requesting permission to translate some of her work to German. The Erika Fromm papers contain several folders of correspondence with the journal editors and correspondence she received from readers (both positive and negative) regarding her decision not to allow the translation. Instead, she wrote a paper titled, Personal Feelings of a Nazi Refugee: Why I do not Want to be Honored by Germans, which was published in the German journal Hypnose Und Kognition instead of her translated work on hypnoanalysis.

    History of Psychology: Mesmer on Animal Magnetism http://web.archive.org/web/20040710162753/http://www.unbf.ca/psycho... Propositions Concerning Animal Magnetism, by Anton Mesmer, 1779 [ 1] [Sir Thomas Browne complained in the middle of the 17th century that "Quacksalvers and charlatans deceive the people." [ 2] Quacks are still among us, but sometime in the 18th century they changed their sales pitch. Anton Mesmer was among the most famous to offer a cure that sounded like new physical science but which leading scientists investigated and rejected. When Mesmer finally closed his elegant clinic in Paris, he was able to afford a small but comfortable estate in the country, to which he quietly retired. Potential buyers, and sellers, too, of any sort of new therapy might wish to know how he recruited so many paying clients. - dgl ] 1. A responsive influence exists between the heavenly bodies, the earth, and animated bodies. 2. A fluid universally diffused, so continuous as not to admit of a vacuum, incomparably subtle, and naturally susceptible of receiving, propagating, and communicating all motor disturbances, is the means of this influence. 3. This reciprocal action is subject to mechanical laws, with which we are not as yet acquainted. 4. Alternative effects result from this action, which may be considered to be a flux and reflux. 5. This reflux is more or less general, more or less special, more or less compound, according to the nature of the causes which determine it. 6. It is by this action, the most universal which occurs in nature, that the exercise of active relations takes place between the heavenly bodies, the earth, and its constituent parts.
