Hypnotism Fails To Surpass Quiet Sit Says Scientist
Dr. Theodore Xenophon Barber studied 48 college women age 18 to 21 with high suggestibility. Half were hypnotized for 20 minutes while the other half sat quietly as a metronome and light provided cues. Precise measures of heart rate respiration muscle tension and skin conductivity showed no relaxation advantage for hypnosis over quiet sitting. Barber notes simple suggestion yields similar relief to hypnotic induction and cites prior pain studies. He conducts research at the Medford Foundation Laboratories and Boston University and is regarded as an authority.
