Abstract

Abstract A hypnosis instructor of mental health professionals recommends that the technique of mutual hypnosis be used with certain students who are unable to respond to other induction techniques. The author feels that experiencing the hypnotic state is vital to the proper learning of hypnotherapeutic techniques. If the student is unable to experience hypnosis because of difficulties in relinquishing control, it is recommended that he be allowed to hypnotize the instructor first, and that he suggest that the instructor hypnotize him while remaining in the hypnotic state. In this way, the student maintains primary control and thus may be enabled to experience hypnosis. This induction technique is recommended only for use with professional people in a seminar setting. Two sample cases are reported.
