“…Nash (2005) identified that a clearer distinction needed to be made between hypnotic procedures and hypnosis as a product stating that: "hypnosis (the product) is not achieved just because a hypnosis procedure has been administered" (Nash, 2005, p. 268). Consistent with this was the recommendation that the phenomena of hypnotic experience be reflected in future definitions of hypnosis (Araoz, 2005;Woody & Sadler, 2005). Additionally, Nash (2005) suggested that what is needed is "an optimally heuristic definition that preserves pluralism-one that recognizes the incompleteness of our concepts, generates a level epistemological playing field, enables our theories to "reach," [sic] and which is relatively resistant to the teflon shield of pre-emptive definition" (p. 266).…”

This article describes the history, rationale, and guidelines for developing a new definition of hypnosis by the Society of Psychological Hypnosis, Division 30 of the American Psychological Association. The definition was developed with the aim of being concise, being heuristic, and allowing for alternative theories of the mechanisms (to be determined in empirical scientific study). The definition of hypnosis is presented as well as definitions of the following related terms: hypnotic induction, hypnotizability, and hypnotherapy. The implications for advancing research and practice are discussed. The definitions are presented within the article.

“…Similarly, hypnosis is highly effective in lowering of physiological arousal (i.e., stress relief), pain mitigation, boosting confidence and self-esteem, and in treating affective problems (Williamson, 2012). Part of its therapeutic effect is thought to be via “the experience of a new awareness of self” (Araoz, 2005, p. 126).…”

This article shows how hypnosis can provide a useful framework for understanding therapeutic horticulture. Within this framework, data from in-depth interviews with 12 volunteers attending Cherry Tree Nursery—a sheltered work project for people with severe mental illness—provided conceptual groupings of reported experiences: rapport, induction, change in conscious state, relaxation, a safe place, therapeutic change via reframing and symbolic thinking, and confidence boosting. Natural environments and nature-based activities are thus contextualized as spaces and situations within which therapeutic change is more likely to occur. The concept of the restorative environment therefore becomes one component of the overall process—inducing a mental and physical state which is open to change, less egoistic, and socially oriented—but not in itself sufficient to bring about the effects described in the literature. Longer-lasting beneficial effects also require appropriate client-centered guidance, wherein the client creates an internalized environment which endures when they return to their everyday life. The described framework unifies previously disparate therapeutic domains and suggests more focus is needed on ‘induction’ processes, activities appropriate to the client’s mental state, and the settings within which any therapeutic process occurs. Furthermore, cases in which people do not benefit from being in natural environments may indicate incongruencies in concurrent guidance or merit the consideration of a new concept of “nature-susceptibility.”
