“…The factor structure obtained with this multicultural sample is similar to the one found in a previous study using a Portuguese sample (Carvalho et al, 2007) and to the structure obtained for the Therapist version of this scale with a Spanish sample (Capafons et al, 2008). Hence, this structure seems to be generalized to different cultures.…”

“…This structure was similar to the one found in the revised client version (Carvalho et al, 2007). The scale also showed adequate psychometric properties, including good internal consistency and test-retest reliability (Capafons et al, 2008).…”

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of having personal experience and information about hypnosis over the beliefs and attitudes toward hypnosis, using a sample of students from Spain, United States, Portugal and Romania. The factor structure of the Revised Valencia Scale of Attitudes and Beliefs toward Hypnosis-Client Version, as well as its psychometric properties are also analyzed. An exploratory factor analysis of the scale was conducted and an 8-factor model solution similar to the one found in other versions of this scale was obtained: Help, Personal Control, Magical Solution, Interest, Collaboration, Fear, Memory/Trance and Marginal. Results also indicated that participants who had previously experienced hypnosis and/or based their knowledge of hypnosis on scientifi c sources scored, in general, higher in factors indicating positive attitudes and correct beliefs about hypnosis.

“…However, despite the fact that two adequately reliable measures of attitudes towards hypnosis exist (the Attitudes Towards Hypnosis scale or ATH, (Milling, 2012; Spanos, Brett, Menary, & Cross, 1987); the Valencia Scale of Attitudes and Beliefs Toward Hypnosis scale, or VSABTH (Capafons, Cabanas, Espejo, & Cardeñåa, 2004; Capafons, Espejo, & Mendoza, 2008), very little research has been performed that has examined its importance to hypnotic responding (Milling, 2012). We were only able to find two studies that reported associations between these scales and measures of hypnotic responding.…”

Evidence supports the efficacy of hypnotic treatments, but there remain many unresolved questions regarding how hypnosis produces its beneficial effects. Most theoretical models focus more or less on biological, psychological, and social factors. This scoping review summarizes the empirical findings regarding the associations between specific factors in each of these domains and response to hypnosis. The findings indicate that: (1) no single factor appears primary; (2) different factors may contribute more or less to outcomes in different subsets of individuals or for different conditions; and (3) comprehensive models of hypnosis that incorporate factors from all 3 domains may ultimately prove to be more useful than more restrictive models that focus on 1 or a very few factors.

“…E-mail: mnash@ utk.edu 498 MICHAEL R. NASH AND ANTHONY TASSO studies focus on the utility of hypnosis with female patients. Both studies are careful to measure hypnotizability and to test whether it influences outcome (Adams, 2008;Capafons, Espejo, & Mendoza, 2008;Kumar & Farley, 2009;Lichtenberg, 2008). The first article (Butler et al, 2009) is a randomized clinical trial testing whether group therapy with hypnosis has a role in helping women with metastatic breast cancer cope with pain and emotional suffering.…”
