Definition of hypnosis:

General definition: Hypnosis is a special psychophysiological state induced by suggestion and resembling sleep or half-sleep.
American Psychological Association: Hypnosis is a procedure in which a professional induces changes in a patient's feelings, perceptions, thinking, or behavior.
Michael Yapko (hypnosis researcher): "Hypnosis is a focused experience of absorbed attention that activates personal resources to achieve change."
Raikov's concept: Hypnosis is a form of increased mental readiness to perceive, process information, and perform actions. It is an altered state of consciousness with increased control over the body's functions.

Principle of operation:

In hypnosis, the patient gains access to the subconscious , repressed traumas, and internal conflicts.
The ability to get rid of ineffective thinking patterns, activate creative thinking and internal resources.

Hypnoanalysis:

A hypnotherapy technique that includes regressive hypnosis — going back to the past in order to remember and understand stressful events.
Hypnocatharsis: re-experiencing trauma and releasing associated anxiety through the creation of a safe therapeutic environment.

Common prejudices:

A person under hypnosis supposedly becomes weak-willed and controlled by the hypnotist.
It is believed that hypnosis can force a person to commit a crime.

Refutation:

The person retains awareness and the ability to control themselves .
Dr. Jacob Kohn (Johns Hopkins University) has not found a single documented case of hypnosis leading to a crime in 150 years of medical history.
