Self 1

Hypnosis is a very controversial topic in the eyes of the twentieth-century. Humans recognize hypnosis as a crazy man swinging a stopwatch telling them they are feeling sleepy. They do not recognize hypnosis as a way of therapy or treatment. Hypnosis is a state where a person's brain functions at a different level than when they are awake, and they are very susceptible to suggestion.

The word hypnosis comes from the Greek word that means sleep. This leads to the assumption that the person being hypnotized are asleep though hypnosis. On the contrary, the person is always awake.

Hypnosis that we recognize is stage hypnosis. But, another form of affective hypnosis is clinical hypnosis. Clinical hypnosis can treat pain, depression, anxiety, stress, and bad habits ("What is Hypnosis"). There are three main types of hypnosis. The most widely used is traditional suggestion. Traditional suggestion is where a hypnotist puts the patient in a deeply relaxed state of mine. Then puts suggestions directly into the subconscious mind. Another form of hypnotism is named after Milton H. Erickson a American hypnotism founding father. It is called Ericksonian hypnosis, a form of hypnosis that uses metaphors towards the conscious mind. The principle of this method is the subconscious brain will instantly make the connection between the metaphor and the desired behavior but the metaphor itself will act as a distraction to the conscious brain. So while the conscious brain is trying to figure out the metaphor, the meaning of the metaphor goes directly into your subconscious. The only other major form of hypnosis is Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This type of hypnosis is referred to as NLP. This type of hypnosis is the professional, and hardest to learn, type of hypnosis. This form of hypnosis can completely rewrite or reprogram the brain; NLP will focus on the worst additions, habits, and thoughts.

    First, this ideology that hypnosis leads participants to have heightened confidence levels in their memory recall can result in a testimony that can sway a jury and possibly lead to the false incarceration of an innocent person. Second, the research that was conducted also concludes that hypnosis does not improve memory; people in a hypnotic state are as likely to incorporate irrelevant information into their testimonies as regular people are. This makes the recall elicited under hypnosis as reliable as the memory produced regularly. Accuracy levels among the memories recalled in the studies signify that memories recalled under hypnosis are no more accurate than the memories of a regular eye-witness. With regards to the case, the testimony provided by Mrs. Walter should be deemed inadmissible because any information provided to the court through the use of hypnosis should be disregarded, as it does not add any value to the memory Mrs. Walter is trying to
