Well now that's interresting. But has hypnosis ever been scientifically
prooved to work??? Is there any papers? Any data other than anecdotical(?)
evidence??
There has been some articles in Sceptical Inquirer that gives som very
reasonable alternatives to "hypnosis" and what it is that people experience
if hypnosis does not work.
To me hypnosis is in the same vein as dream interpretation and the Rorshack
test. Which is to say untested maybe even unfalsifiable, and at best with
very little effect. Given the evidence and sources I have been able to find.
But I'm always open for new evidence.
