A comment on an alleged association between hypnosis and death: two remarkable cases


Dr. Ewin recently reported his research on two "remarkable" cases where hypnosis performed by a lay hypnotist was allegedly associated with the death of the subject. Commentary is provided about both cases. In the first case, it seems clear that the death was co-incident to the hypnosis. In the second case, Dr. Ewin speculates that hypnosis may have been related to the subject's death following her experience in a stage hypnosis show. Instead, we propose that the alerting suggestion used to terminate the hypnosis (that "the subjects would feel 10,000 volts of electricity through the seat of their chairs"), not hypnosis per se, was inappropriate and may have specifically adversely affected this particular subject due to her phobia regarding electricity. Legal ramifications of these cases regarding the issue of informed consent are raised. It is concluded that these cases do not imply a duty to warn subjects/patients that one possible negative consequence of undergoing hypnosis is death.

A personality is normally considered one's beliefs, values, and behaviors. Together these are reflected as patterns. Once something happens that is...

About Depression

For each and every one of us there are times when we feel, sad, lonely, and wish that our situation was better. This is a natural, normal feeling that we all go through. In fact, it may be just a matter of our biorhythms fluctuating every 90 minutes or so or just helping us balance our life after a period of exhilaration. On the other hand, if these feelings are persistent and so severe as to prevent you from participating in normal relationships and regular activities, just possibly you may have chronic depression and need assistance. Here’s what you should be looking for if you think...

Drug addiction and hypnosis

Depending on which narcotic is involved, a person can quickly become addicted to a drug. Some such as marijuana and prescription pain killers may take longer to create a bonifide addiction. However, others such as meth amphetamines and cocaine can easily create an addiction from the very first use. There are two factors involved in a drug addiction. The first comes from the strength of the addictive drug as mentioned previously. The second comes from the repetitive use of the drug. The more that the behavior is repeated; the quicker it becomes a habit. Of course, that is true for just...
