Clinical Hypnosis as an Adjunct to Cognitive Behavior Therapy: An Updated Meta-Analysis Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Nicolino Ramondo, Gilles E. Gignac, Carmela F. Pestell, Susan M. Byrne
ABSTRACT In 1995, Kirsch and colleagues published an influential meta-analysis (k = 20, N = 577) which found that CBT enhanced with hypnosis (CBTH) was superior to CBT alone by at least d = .53. However, a lack of full replication and the emergence of new empirical studies prompted this updated analysis. A total of 48 post- (N = 1,928) and 25 follow-up treatments (N = 1,165) were meta-analyzed. CBTH

Hypnotizability and the Natural Human Ability to Alter Experience Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2021-01-29 Paul F. Dell
ABSTRACT There seems to be a natural, human ability to alter one’s experience that already exists – prior to and apart from any hypnotic induction. Individual differences in this ability range from low to high and are largely commensurate with the person’s assessed hypnotizability. More importantly, these preexisting, individual differences in the ability to alter experience seem to be the “substrate”

The Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A), is widely used as a measure of suggestibility to screen participants for research purposes. To date, there have been a number of normative studies of the HGSHS:A, the majority of which originate from Western countries. The outcomes of these Western studies are summarized, and variations in methodologies are described and discussed

MECHANISMS OF HYPNOTIC ANALGESIA EXPLAINED BY FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE (fMRI). Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2020 Edoardo Casiglia,Francesco Finatti,Valérie Tikhonoff,Maria R Stabile,Micaela Mitolo,Federica Albertini,Federica Gasparotti,Enrico Facco,Antonio M Lapenta,Annalena Venneri
Hypnotic-focused analgesia (HFA) was produced in 20 highly hypnotizable subjects receiving nociceptive stimulations while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The fMRI pattern in brain cortex activation while receiving a painful stimulus was recorded both during nonhypnosis and during HFA. The scanning protocol included the acquisition of a T1-weighted structural scan, 4 functional

HYPNOTIZABILITY-RELATED FAAH C385A POLYMORPHISM: POSSIBLE ENDOCANNABINOID CONTRIBUTION TO SUGGESTION-INDUCED ANALGESIA. Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2020 Silvano Presciuttini,Giancarlo Carli,Enrica L Santarcangelo
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) degrades the endogenous endocannabinoid (eCB) anandamide and might be involved in the response to suggestions of analgesia in subjects with high hypnotizability scores (highs). Since the A allele of the FAAH C385A polymorphism (rs324420) is associated with lower FAAH activity, it was studied in 21 highs, 66 low hypnotizable individuals (lows), and 172 individuals not

PSYCHOLOGICAL MINDEDNESS, ATTITUDES TOWARD HYPNOSIS, AND EXPECTANCY AS CORRELATES OF HYPNOTIZABILITY. Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2020 Lauren L Koep,Mattie L Biggs,Joshua R Rhodes,Gary R Elkins
This study aimed to understand how psychological mindedness, attitudes toward hypnosis, and expectancy of hypnotizability are related to hypnotizability. Ninety-one undergraduate students were given measures pertaining to attitudes toward hypnosis, psychological mindedness, and self-ratings of expectancy of hypnotizability. The subjects were then administered the Elkins Hypnotizability Scale (EHS)

HYPNOTIC RESPONSIVENESS AND NONHYPNOTIC SUGGESTIBILITY: DISPARATE, SIMILAR, OR THE SAME? Int. J. Clin. Exp. Hypn. (IF 0.72) Pub Date : 2020 Anthony F Tasso,Nicole A Pérez,Mark Moore,Robert Griffo,Michael R Nash
This study examined if participants respond to different types of suggestions, including hypnosis, uniquely or similarly. This study used 9 suggestibility measures and hypothesized a 3-factor model. It was hypothesized that hypnosis, Chevreul's pendulum, and body-sway would load on the first factor; the odor test, progressive weights, and placebo on the second factor; and conformity, persuasibility
