“…Subjects in these studies have been exposed to the stimulus several times per week for the duration of treatment with significant improvement beyond their counterparts in the same programs who were exposed to the control stimulus. Besides symptom improvement, exposure to the symbiotic-like stimulus has been shown to facilitate self-disclosure (Linehan & O'Toole, 1982), enhance rapport (Frauman, Lynn, Hardaway, & Molteni, 1984), improve performance of assertive behavior (Packer, 1984), and improve academic performance and study habits (Ariam & Siller, 1982; Bryant-Tuckett & Silverman, 1984).…”

A quantitative review of subliminal symbiotic activation research is presented. Ss viewed Mommy and I are one and other psychoanalytically relevant or neutral stimuli at subliminal exposure levels, and comparative effects on adaptive behavior were observed. The review procedure was one in which the results of a meta-analysis were corrected for statistical artifacts. Small but significant effects were revealed. All observed variance between studies is attributable to random sampling and measurement error. Future research designed to replicate basic experimental effects is deemed superfluous. Some implications for psychoanalytic theory, cognitive science, and subliminal perception research are discussed.

“…Over time, that issue has been theorized in terms of transference and object relations (Brown & Fromm, 1986;Smith, 1981), working alliance and empathy (Palaci, 1993;Petot, 2006); motivation and social influence (Kihlstrom, 1985;Orne, 1966;Spanos, 1982), regression and symbiosis (Frauman, Lynn, Hardaway, & Molteni, 1984;Lutz & Fix, 2007) to name just a few.…”

This article considers links between clinical hypnosis, attachment theory, and oxytocin. First, it proposes that commonalities between clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may improve our understanding of the hypnotherapeutic process. Then, it suggests that an integrative model unifying clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may constitute a link between clinical hypnosis and a neurobiological factor such as oxytocin. Finally, it discusses the implications of these hypotheses for clinical practice and future researches.Nowadays an abundant scientific literature acknowledges the therapeutic value of clinical hypnosis (for a review,

“…A growing body of evidence suggests that nonresponsive hypnotic subjects may actively and purposefully resist responding to hypnotic suggestions (Jones & Spanos, 1982; Lynn, Weekes, Rhue, & Snodgrass, 1985; Spanos & Bodorik, 1977). Further, interpersonal and rapport factors appear to be related to positive hypnotic involvement and response (Dolby & Sheehan, 1977; Frauman, Lynn, Hardaway, & Molteni, 1984; Lynn, Nash, Rhue, Frauman, & Sweeney, 1984; Lynn, Snodgrass, Hardaway, & Casey, 1984; Nash, Lynn, Stanley, Frauman, & Rhue, 1985; Sheehan, 1980). Clinicians who place a premium on maximizing the effects of hypnotic interventions have consistently argued that minimizing resistance and augmenting rapport with the hypnotist are prerequisites to fostering complete hypnotic involvement (Barber, 1985; Diamond, 1986; Lankton, 1985).…”

This research supported the hypothesis that hypnosis can be thought of as a set of potentially modifiable social-cognitive skills and attitudes. A low-interpersonal-training treatment devised by Gorassini and Spanos (1986) was compared with a treatment designed to modify not only cognitive factors but also to augment rapport with the trainer and diminish resistance to responding (high-interpersonal training). Fifty percent of the initially unhypnotizable subjects in the high-interpersonal condition tested as being highly susceptible to hypnosis (high susceptibles) at posttest on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (Shor & Orne, 1962); 25% of the unhypnotizable subjects in the low-interpersonal condition responded comparably. Eighty-three percent of the medium-susceptibility (medium susceptibles) subjects tested as being highly susceptible at posttest in both conditions. Practice-alone control subjects' performance was stable across testings. The study was the first to demonstrate that treatment gains generalize to a battery of novel, demanding suggestions (generalization index) that have been found to differentiate highly susceptible subjects from unhypnotizable simulating subjects. The importance of rapport was evidenced by the finding that rapport ratings paralleled group differences in hypnotic responding and that rapport correlated substantially with susceptibility scores at posttest and with the generalization index. Whereas initial hypnotizability scores correlated significantly with retest susceptibility scores, initial hypnotizability failed to correlate significantly with the generalization index.
