Automatic word processing, a novel dissociation technique combining hypnosis and computer technology, allows patients unique expressive and therapeutic benefits. This method facilitates extensive self-expression, response editing, and creative writing during hypnotic states, offering significant therapeutic potential.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Computer-Assisted Therapy

Background:

  • Dissociation is a complex psychological phenomenon.
  • Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness.
  • Computer technology offers new avenues for therapeutic interventions.

Observation:

  • A novel technique, automatic word processing (AWP), integrates hypnosis and computer technology.
  • AWP provides a unique platform for patients' hypnotic expression.
  • Six patients utilized AWP for extensive self-expression, response editing, and creative writing during hypnosis.

Findings:

  • Patients using AWP demonstrated significant self-expression capabilities.
  • The ability to edit responses during hypnosis was observed.
  • Creative outputs, such as poetry, were produced via AWP.
