Different perspectives on informed consent and clinical hypnosis.

چکیده
I had hoped that Dr. Steven J. Lynn’s proposals (Lynn, 2001a; 2001b) regarding informed consent and clinical hypnosis would stimulate some interesting discussion about this important issue and I was not disappointed. However, Dr. Lynn seems to feel that the commentators (Hammond, Scheflin & Vermetten, 2001; Kluft, 2001; Spiegel, 2001; Watkins, 2001) did not accurately understand nor represent his views on this topic. I believe that Dr. Lynn is probably right in this regard because he never explicated exactly what his position is regarding how and when to implement specific informed consent procedures when doing clinical hypnosis. Thus, the real point of contention, in my opinion, does not appear to be whether some type of informed consent should be used; but rather what patients should be informed about.

Dr. Kluft is right: “Proponents of paradigms often conduct themselves as if they were the agents of...
