An altered state of consciousness
characterized by focused concentration similar to that experienced when
daydreaming or concentrating and oblivious to distraction. It allows access
to the highly suggestible subconscious mind by quieting the conscious mind.
Research has shown electrical changes in the brain during hypnosis; the
brain waves of a hypnotized person are usually different from those of
a person in the normal waking state. Most people can be hypnotized, although
the ability varies from person to person. Techniques vary but usually involve
deep relaxation accompanied by the focusing of the mind (as on an object
or the voice of the hypnotist). Hypnosis is occasionally used as an aid
in medical practice, especially for anesthesia and pain relief; in psychotherapy,
e.g., to help patients recall traumatic events and overcome denial; and
to assist people in breaking unwanted habits (e.g., smoking, overeating).
