Physiological Monitoring to Enhance Clinical Hypnosis and Psychotherapy
1College of Integrative Medicine and Health Sciences, Saybrook University , Pasadena, California, USA.
Abstract:
Physiological monitoring provides a useful access into the patient's affective state during hypnotically assisted therapeutic sessions. Physiological monitoring identifies autonomic dysregulation and can also display the process of restoring autonomic regulation via hypnosis and other quieting strategies. Commonly used modalities for physiological monitoring are identified, and clinical illustrations of how psychophysiological monitoring can be used in hypnosis and hypnotically assisted psychotherapy are provided. Clinicians may benefit from including psychophysiological knowledge in hypnosis education. Physiological monitoring may enhance hypnosis interventions for some disorders; however, more research is needed for evaluation of efficacy.
