Bbc hypnosis

Episode 6 looked at the science of the mind, bbc hypnosis, and there is a fascinating section on Jean-Martin Charcot.

CrowdScience witnesses a hypnotised patient having a tooth removed with little pain relief and speaks to a magician-turned-neuroscientist shedding light on how hypnosis works. Hypnosis has a long and controversial history, with its roots in animal magnetism or mesmerism, the theory developed by 18th Century German doctor Franz Mesmer. He believed he had discovered an invisible natural force possessed by all living things, and that he could channel this force for healing purposes. Popularity of hypnosis has since waxed and waned, but was largely denounced as quackery until the 20th Century, when it began to be studied scientifically. However it is only in the last twenty years or so that is has become incorporated into mainstream science and medicine. CrowdScience speaks to Dr Quinton Deeley, consultant psychiatrist and senior lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, who has used it in practice for many years, and Dr Amir Raz, a magician-turned-neuroscientist who is shedding light on how hypnosis works. To see how hypnosis is being used clinically, CrowdScience visits the Berkeley Clinic in Glasgow, Scotland, to witness a hypnotised patient having a tooth extracted with very little anaesthesia.

Glaswegian hypnotherapist Ali Campbell is a man whose clients include royalty and A-list Hollywood actors. Following Ali in his practice as he tackles some complex cases, we discover whether hypnosis really can help people with chronic conditions, before checking in on them months later to get their verdict on whether it has helped them or not. We meet Chris, who suffers from explosive anger, an issue that is ruining his life. His wife Jess says she recently found him researching suicide on the internet, and Chris explains how he has seen multiple doctors and specialists for 20 years, and none of them were able to help. Glaswegian GP and president of the European Hypnosis Society, Dr Kathleen Long, has been using the treatment on patients for years and finds it to be one of the most useful she has learned, despite hypnosis not usually being available on the NHS.
