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,

“…These patients are respectively referred to as suffering from psychosomatic (or somatoform) disorders. Several psychotherapeutic approaches have been applied to these patients such as psychoeducational interventions, stress management procedures, cognitive-behavioral therapy, brief dynamic therapy, family therapy, group interventions (reviewed in Fava et al, 2017 ), psychodynamic psychotherapy ( Bronstein, 2011 ; de Greck et al, 2013 ), or clinical hypnosis ( Wilkinson, 1981 ; Tschugguel and Tschugguel, 2010 ; Häuser et al, 2016 ).…”

A key element of successful psychotherapy for the treatment of psychosomatic disorders is that patients recognize and change the meaning of their experiences. Such changes are brought about by appropriate verbal referencing of symptoms currently experienced within a given narrative. The present theoretical paper argues that changes are not based on better, more adaptive narratives per se, but on the transition (or linkage) process itself that is experienced between different narratives. This view is theoretically justified in various ways: first, it is accounted for through contemporary spatiotemporal neuroscience, which aims to connect mental and structural aspects via a common dynamic property or, according to Northoff, the “common currency” of a brain’s orientation along its embeddedness in its contextual world, i.e., body and environment. Second, it is justified through the physics concept of “spontaneous symmetry breaking,” which is used analogously to “suffering from symptoms.” If the sufferer is willing to experience a process of “going back,” that is, moving away from the previous narrative (or aspect) by verbally relating to the felt aspects of the symptom in question (i.e., approaching its meaning), they are moving toward symmetry or an underlying dynamic alignment with their world context. Clinical predictions are derived from the theoretical arguments.
