“…Hypnotherapy is regaining favor in the trend of individualized and holistic health without drugs, injections, or side effects. 14 Hypnotherapy is increasingly popular because it is often equated with hypnosis shows that magicians often perform on television for entertainment. Hypnotherapy became popular in 1900 to help people quit smoking and lose weight.…”

Background: Hypnotherapy has demonstrated high efficacy and is recognized for its potential for various clinical or health conditions. However, the perception of hypnotherapy among the general public is very diverse and influenced by many factors, especially compared to other types of psychotherapy. Objective: We aimed to investigate Indonesian society's perception of hypnotherapy compared to other types of psychotherapy. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used, targeting users of Twitter and Instagram. The chosen online questionnaires assessed variables, including respondents' characteristic data. This study also used the "Persepsi Praktik Hipnoterapi" questionnaire that has been peer-reviewed. Results: Among 100 participants, hypnotherapy is the most widely known, trusted (35%) type of psychotherapy. Most of the respondents had never undergone psychotherapy (36%). Moreover, most of the respondents in this study had never undergone hypnotherapy (71%). The majority of respondents also gave a possible response to hypnotherapy that can help to cure mental disorders (65%) and physical illnesses (54%) and heal permanently (55%). Most respondents responded "no" to the thought that hypnotherapy can replace the role of psychology and psychiatrists (86%). Conclusion: Respondents are more familiar with hypnotherapy than other psychotherapy techniques but many do not know the authority of hypnotherapists. Keywords: Hypnotherapy, Indonesia, perception, psychotherapy.

“…To understand how hypnotic depth influences neural and psychological markers of hypnosis, we induced two distinct hypnotic states, Somnambulism and Esdaile, using a standardized induction text. Originally reported by the Marquis de Puységur [49], Somnambulism describes a psychological state similar to sleep-walking [6,51]. Following hypnotic deepening, a deeply relaxed trance-like disembodied hypnotic state can be achieved.…”

“…Following hypnotic deepening, a deeply relaxed trance-like disembodied hypnotic state can be achieved. Referred to as Esdaile state after the British surgeon James Esdaile, this hypnotic state is thought to reduce pain perception to the extent that it can be used to replace an anesthetic for surgery [51,52]. Our experimental design aims to overcome methodological issues by employing standardized induction and control conditions matching the hypnosis induction in semantic content but without inducing the hypnotic effect.…”

Understanding the neural substrate of altered conscious states is an important cultural, scientific and clinical endeavour. Although hypnosis causes strong shifts in conscious perception and cognition, it remains largely unclear how hypnosis affects information processing in cortical networks. Here we manipulated the depth of hypnotic states to study information processing between cortical regions involved in attention and awareness. We used high-density Electroencephalography (EEG) to record resting-state cortical activity from 30 hypnosis experts during two hypnotic states with different depth. Each participant entered *Somnambulism*, a sleep-walking-like light hypnotic state, and *Esdaile*, a coma-like deep hypnotic state, and two well-matched control states. Bridging top-down and lateralization models of hypnosis, we found that interhemispheric frontoparietal connectivity distinguished hypnosis and control conditions, while no difference was found between the two hypnotic states. Using a graph-theoretic measure, we revealed that the amount of information passing through individual nodes (measured via betweenness centrality) is reduced during hypnosis relative to control states. Finally, we found that theta power was enhanced during hypnosis. Our result contributes to the current discussion around a role for theta power in bringing about hypnotic states, as well as other altered conscious states. Overall, our findings support the notion that altered top-down control in frontoparietal regions facilitates hypnosis by integrating information between cortical hemispheres.
