Abstract
This article provides a meta-theoretical framework, which can be applied to hypnosis, based on relational (intersubjective) psychoanalysis. The relationship between hypnosis and psychoanalysis is reviewed by describing three splits: (a) psychoanalysis split off from brain science; (b) psychoanalysis split off from hypnosis; and (c) splits within psychoanalysis itself. Reintegrations of these three splits are discussed from a meta-theoretical point of view—through neuropsychoanalysis and hypnodynamic hypnotherapy (or hypnoanalysis), which combines interpersonal and intrapersonal psychology. Evidence of the mutual adjustments of the hypnotist's style to the needs of the hypnotized is presented, including the unconscious interactional mechanisms that enable these adjustments in the context of relational hypnosis.
