Carly: You never set up your user page properly. I added a clickable icon on your user page that takes you to this sandbox. Here are some problems that I found with the original article titled "hypnotherapy."


 * 1) There is no history section in the article. I have no information on where hypnotherapy came from. There is an article titled "The History of Hypnotherapy and it's Role in Irritable Bowel Syndrome." This article gave insight on the historical value behind hypnotherapy and a subgroup of diseases that it can help cure/relieve symptoms for.
 * 2) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1365-2036.2005.02697.x

Another source that is basically on the introduction and basics of hypnotherapy; how it works and what it is - it's a book that I've been reading for the past few weeks.

 * Assignment called for listing 2 references. J.R. Council (talk) 03:02, 15 October 2018 (UTC)


 * 1) To me, the section on occupational accreditation is not relevant. I would delete all of those countries and their contribution to hypnotherapy. It doesn't seem like it matters, especially not for what we're researching, which is the therapy itself and how it works/what it's used for rather than where it is used. It's possible to have some history behind the first uses of it, and where it originated from, but I wouldn't have a section dedicated to it. ~

2. Here's another question for the assignment, Dr. Council. I'm wondering if the accreditation section, which is something that seemed important now that I look at it differently, but my question is if it's possible to include the entire section/parts of the section in the "History" subtitle of our project. That way we won't have an entire section dedicated to it, and we could include accreditation within/enveloped into the history section. I feel like they are relevant to each other. Carlyhansen (talk) 17:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Is this one of the questions/comments to me called for by the assignment? I will give credit, but you still need one more for full credit. In any case, I would not delete the information about accreditation. It's an important issue, and someone would just restore the section.

You ahould be in Edit source to work on this section and preserve formatting. Also, so you can sign off with ~ J.R. Council (talk) 03:05, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

The article needs more medical references for verification the last updates was 2017. most of the content updated on this article is dated back to 2017 that why it has a big warning sign because there are lots of work that can be done to improve it and gave some current updates. looking at also the efficacy and user page about this article those pages can also be developed by looking at hypnotherapy and anxiety, or hypnotherapy and IBS symptoms there is the current newest research article that goes more in depth about the medical perspective of hypnotherapy.

Dane-

I think that finding these sources are good, however, as suggested by Dr. Council, I think that we should perhaps made a section for the health benefits of hypnotherapy and instead focus on the psychotherapy behind it. Carlyhansen (talk) 03:28, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Introduction

Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that can aid in the relief of physical and psychological problems. Hypnotherapy is a broad term for a practice of therapy that can be used for physical and psychological problems/illnesses. It is one of the oldest practices for healing remedies and has been used for a variety of reasons, such as obesity, irritable bowel syndrome, and mental illness.

Hypnotherapy works by dealing with the subconscious mind, specifically with emotion, imagination, memory, and the autonomic nervous system. Within these systems, there are physical changes that occur in the body that detect effectiveness of hypnotherapy. It includes a decreased heart rate and breathing rate, blood pressure is reduced, and stomach acid is being processed more slowly. The blood was also tested and showed stress cortisone levels as low as zero. White blood cells have been shown to stick to the walls of blood vessels that produce beneficial lymphatic cells that aid in keeping the body healthy - this could be an explanation of why cancer cells have been shown to be reduced with hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is not a "magic" feeling. In fact, most people who experience it report feeling as if they were daydreaming, like an incredibly light sleep where conscious is still obtained, but influence/persuasion is more susceptible to happen. The hypnosis session will only work if the subject is willing and able to participate. There is no such thing as a "forced" hypnosis session. Some signs and symptoms include fluttering eyelids, slower breathing, pleasant tingling in the limbs, and an overall feeling of relaxation.

The branches of hypnotherapy include cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy, Eriksonian hypnotherapy, hypno-psychotherapy, hypnoanalysis, solution focused and suggestion hypnotherapy. Each branch has several different functions that can be applied to different problems.

Dane Hypnotherapy create a path to recovery and wellness due to increased sense of joy and contentment. The benefit of hypnotherapy are quite meaningful for the quality of life because it addresses wide range of treatment with psychotherauptic analysis. The ignoring of those seeking hypnotherapy describe that their health is far from optimal; they are not comfortable with who they are. In a naturalistic study to determine psychotherapy and hypno-psychotheraphy with in the psycho dynamic frame work explains, that the general idea of change in hypnotherapy is to identify unconscious conflict underlying a patients pathology and offering corrective emotional experiences that correspond to their conflict. Hypnotherapy deals with emotions, feeling, and experiences and most of these signs and symptoms can cause a decrease in social aspect of the community. Beside dealing with child defects, bulimia, but other use includes:cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy,psychotherapy and hypo analysis these they all  focus on different aspect of hypnotherapy.

Dane -

I think that your paragraph is okay. I think that it's a good approach to talk about the increase in the quality of life that you mention in your paragraph. I also think it's a good idea to talk about the psychotherapy that is rooted and branches from hypnosis. As Dr. Council mentioned, hypnosis is something that aids the process of psychotherapy.

I think having some sources and a part in our main lead section would be to talk about psychotherapy, define it, and branch off into how it is a fundamental aspect of hypnosis (it plays a huge role in the process of diagnosing and understanding hypnosis). I also think it would be helpful to include some stuff from our lecture. I think that we should source from the powerpoints and look into our book on Chapter 11 (our CCD group chapter) and find some points about hypnosis from those. Those could be very helpful!

Dr. Council's comments on draft of article for Assignment 8

 * 1) First of all, this hasn't changed since my last comments. So you should pay attention to them and make changes where necessary.
 * 2) Second, you need to focus sharply on hypnosis as a therapy technique. There is already a very detailed article on hypnosis in Wikipedia. If you need to bring in hypnosis "per se" then just link to that article.
 * 3) This is a subtle distinction - I'm not sure you can do this since you're not experts in the field. Don't worry though. Even if I don't approve you for publishing, you'll still get all the points. In hindshight, I should have steered you to another topic. J.R. Council (talk) 03:56, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I'm a little confused, but I think what follows is your combined lead and the beginnings of your article. I will comment on your lead here:

Also, the lead needs to be re-written so it "flows" better. Right now, it seems choppy and disconnected. Finally, Dane, you have not signed your work. Please do this so I can give you credit. J.R. Council (talk) 22:02, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) You do not need to title your lead Introduction
 * 2) You have the wrong topic in the first sentence. You are supposed to be writing about hypnotherapy, not hypnosis. You do this again later on in the lead. Hypnosis is not hypnotherapy. Keep these topics distinct.
 * 3) Hypnotherapy is part of the history of psychoanalysis, but psychoanalysis is not hypnotherapy. Be clear about this.
 * 4) This lead needs to be rewritten so it is focused on hypnotherapy, specifically. Start off with a good definition that clarifies the relationship of hypnosis to hypnotherapy.
 * Proofread!
 * Add links to related topics mentioned in the lead, like James Braid. Add reference citations.
 * Please continue writing the main body of the article. Just flesh out your lead and outline, and add additional information at the appropriate spots.
 * Be sure to break your article into its main parts, and add section and subsection titles to organize and make it easy for the reader to follow.

Introduction

Hypnosis is a form of psychotherapy that can be used to heal the body in psychological and physical ways. Within this, it can be applied to enhance a positive outlook on the patient's situation through identifying the struggles in the unconscious mind through suggestibility. It's important to note that the practice is found through psychotherapy, and is not psychotherapy itself. Through certain situations and with specific people, hypnosis can be beneficial in helping people with their mental and physical states.

The scientific branch of hypnotherapy was discovered and practiced in the 19th century with James Braid who branched off the ideas of Franz Mesmer. Braid reconstructed the concept of suggestibility and coined the term hypnosis from the Greek Goddess Hypnos (1). The previous beliefs of hypnosis were rooted in sorcery, witchcraft, psychoticism, and dark magic, but the scientific approach to hypnosis was discovered and improved the understanding of the unconscious side of psychology.

Psychoanalysis is an important aspect of hypnotherapy, and it uncovers the analytical side of understanding the unconscious mind and processes. Through the research and studies conducted by scientists and psychologists like Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer, a foundation for psychoanalysis was created. Through this and the case study of pseudonym Anna O., the development of hypnotherapy and psychoanalysis have been researched and practiced among hundreds of psychologists and research institutions.

The different conceptions of hypnosis vary in interpretation. Typically, hypnosis is thought of as a trance-like state that makes people do crazy things and erase their memories in the process, and that is one branch of it, but it also has several different viewpoints and concepts that aren't all involved in being under a spell. The fundamental aspect of hypnosis is the concept of being highly suggestible, whether that be through a deep trance-like state, or through some other form of suggestibility, like through a theoretical free associative technique.

History

Hypnosis dates back to ancient times of sorcery, dark magic, and medicine (1). Until the later half of the 19th century, hypnosis was seen as having benefits in the medicinal field, but psychologists and scientists completed research on the subject to discover that hypnosis is a form of psychotherapy that can be beneficial in several circumstances (1). The first few recordings of hypnosis being used are from ancient times and show that it was strongly rooted in medicinal purposes and viewed as magic. It wasn't until later that it became a scientific study for understanding psychotherapy.

Originating Founders

Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault, an old mesmeric French physician (1), collaborated with a professor of medicine at Strasbourg, Hippolyte Bernheim, and together they created the concept of hypnosis being completely psychologically mediated through suggestibility rather than having any physiological responses or effects (1).

Dane Lead Section Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique which is achieved through the process of hypnosis. With hypnotherapy, the goal is to understand the subconscious and how it affects our everyday activity controlled by our consciousness. The human mind is developed in two ways- the subconscious which is the imagination of the mind. for example, The idea and the psychologically based suggestionism, as a premise study of the subconscious mind explain by Mesmer's. Pierre Janet also focused his work on the subconscious mind from a patient hysterical symptoms, he listed four kinds of subconscious beliefs (1) those derived from post-hypnotic suggestion, (2) those produces by anesthesia, (3) those that occurs during distraction, and (4) spontaneous conscious acts. where as the conscious mind is used as the palliative for identifying the form of treatment that are necessary use in psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy can be argued to have evolve from Sigmund Freud psychoanalysis. During the process of hypnotherapy, the individual is helped through the process of changing their perspective about their current issues/inadequacies by employing the Freudian technique of free association devoid of suggestiveness. With hypnotherapy, the individual can be open and receptive to new ideas by changing the way they think and the way in which they take care of themselves. although many psychotherapist explore the idea of hypnotherapy the real precursor in the field of modern hypnotherapy was father Johann Joseph Gassner who also focused on exorcism.Dane1213 (talk) 21:56, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

History

In the 19th century, hypnotherapy was a distinct model of treatment 'divine power', is a procedure that is link to prehistoric times by ancient civilization. In all parts of the world priests, druids, gurus,and shamans have used a variety of rituals and customs to induce trancelike state that may be cons truced as a form of hypnotherapy another form of hypnosis. it was until the Hinda Veda written around 1500 B.C. mentioned the use of hypnotic-like technique and procedure. According to Robert Baker in his book hypnosis, the history of hypnosis came into early recognition by different theorist James Braid in 1843 and Viennese physicians Anton Mesmer. Mesmer was the product of the enlightenment society and culture. Mesmer freemasonic ideas were very attuned with the view as man as a creature of science, he believed that perfect health depended upon the individual having trust relationship with the heavenly bodies also a trance like behavior; he developed the ideology of 'Animal Magnetism' which provided synthesis of the history of magnetism and hypnotism. Hypnotherapy was a strong rooted medicine treatment most civilization including the Egyptians used a form of it in their dream temples.

 * The content above could be added to a new section of the article on history of hypnotherapy. However, it needs to be proofread and better organized. J.R. Council (talk) 04:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Dane -

I think this is okay. I would recommend focusing on more things that Dr. Council gave us for advice. We could rent out some of his books on hypnotherapy to narrow down our definition. I think it's good to include the two forms of conscious minds, however I feel like it should be expanded on.

For the second paragraph, I like the introduction to Freud. I think it's important to mention him, and some other scientists (like Breuer and Mesmer) because Freud wasn't the best at hypnosis, and his primary research wasn't on hypnosis. I think expanding on the history of the background of hypnosis could be useful. Carlyhansen (talk) 17:27, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
