Document Summary

Objective 19. 1 define hypnosis, and note some similarities between the behaviour of hypnotized people and that of motivated unhypnotized people. Hypnosis is a state of heightened suggestibility to which people are subject in varying degrees. The strength, stamina, learning, and perceptual abilities of hypnotized people ay be matched by those of motivated unhypnotized people. Objective 19. 2 discuss the characteristics of people who are susceptible to hypnosis and evaluate claims that hypnosis can influence people"s memory will, health and perception of pain. Highly hypnotized people can focus attention totally on task, become imaginatively absorbed within, and can entertain fanciful possibilities. Does not enhance recall of forgotten memories. Both hypnotized and unhypnotized people can both do the same thing when told to do so by an authoritative person. Post hypnotic suggestions have helped people harness their own healing powers to reduce headaches. Objective 19. 3 give arguments for and against hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness.
