There's no guarantee that the information they received was true. I imagine hypnosis is in the same category as lie detectors with respect to its...interpretability.
- wyre 5y agoEven if hypnotherapy only brings out incorrect tales if there is improvement in the patients wellness I would view that as a valid treatment, but obviously there are a lot of metrics that are impractical to measure to make valid scientific statements about it. I'm not a hypnotherapist, not do I visit one.
- lazide 5y agoExcept for the folks accused of doing things in said made up memories - like all the poor bastards railroaded in the 90’s as part of the crazy satanic panic Bs.
- vasco 5y agoIt's also a very convenient thing for the FBI to have you believe I guess.
- thelittleone 5y agoFair view. But I dont think lie detectors is a reasonabke compare. IIRC lie detectors ask questions with a true or false answer. These hypnotherapy sessions involve the individual under care to tell a story. They're typically not even aware they spoke at the end of the session. I appreciate many think it's snake oil, I did too years ago. But have seen first hand great results.
