Ever since Mesmer first understood and started applying mesmerism the medical establishment has largely been at best indifferent to hypnotherapy. But what about the general publics attitude to hypnosis? Where do they stand?
A recent paper addressed this by reviewing all the published papers they could find from January 1996 to March 2016.
They looked at 9 medical databases using a vast array of hypnotherapy related keywords. The papers had to contain original data from the public regarding how they felt about hypnotherapy.
In the end they found 31 papers that seemed to reflect a diverse range of people. They found that people accepted that hypnosis was an altered mental state that the subject had to be willing to enter.
The majority were open to the benefits of hypnotherapy and in the right situation would use it themselves.
