Full textbehavior. Proverbs, like “we tend to get what we expect,” and concepts, such as optimistic
thinking or self-fulfilling prophecy, reflect this intuition of an important link between one’s
dispositions and subsequent behavior. In other words, one’s predictions directly or
indirectly cause them to become true. In a similar manner, every culture, country or
religion has their own words for ‘expectation,’ ‘belief,’ ‘disappointment,’ ‘surprise,’ and
generally all have the same meaning: under uncertainty, what one expects or believes is the
most likely to happen. This relation between what caused a reaction in the past will
probably cause it again in the future might not be realistic. If the expected outcome is not
confirmed, it may result in a personal ‘disappointment’, and if the outcome fits no
expectations, it will be a ‘surprise’. Our brain is hardwired with this heuristic capacity of
learning the cause-effect relationship and to project its probability as the basis for much of
our behavior, as well as cognitions. This experience-based expectation is a form of
learning that helps the brain to bypass an exhaustive search in finding a satisfactory
solution. Expectations may thus be considered an innate theory of causality; that is, a set of
factors (causes) generating a given phenomenon (effects) influence the way we treat
incoming information but also the way we retrieve the stored information. These
expectancy templates may well represent one of the basic rules of how the brain processes
information, affecting the way we perceive the world, direct our attention and deal with
conflicting information. In fact, expectations have been shown to influence our judgments
and social interactions, along with our volition to individually decide and commit to a
particular course of action. However, people’s expectations may elicit the anticipation of
their own automatic reactions to various situations and behaviors cues, and can explain that
expecting to feel an increase in alertness after coffee consumption leads to experiencing
the consequent physiologic and behavioral states. We call this behavior-response
expectancy. This non-volitional form of expectation has been shown to influence
cognitions such as memory, pain, visual awareness, implicit learning and attention, through
the mediation of phenomena like placebo effects and hypnotic behaviors. Importantly,when talking about expectations, placebo and hypnosis, it is important to note that we are
also talking about suggestion and its modulating capability. In other words, suggestion has
the power to create response expectancies that activate automatic responses, which will, in
turn, influence cognition and behavior so as to shape them congruently with the expected
outcome. Accordingly, hypnotic inductions are a systematic manipulation of expectancy,
similar to placebo, and therefore they both work in a similar way. Considering such
assumptions, the major question we address in this PhD thesis is to know if these
expectancy-based mechanisms are capable of modulating more high-level information
processing such as cognitive conflict resolution, as is present in the well-known Stroop
task. In fact, in a recent series of studies, reduction or elimination of Stroop congruency
effects was obtained through suggestion and hypnotic induction. In this PhD thesis, it is
asked whether a suggestion reinforced by placebos, operating through response-expectancy
mechanisms, is able to induce a top-down cognitive modulation to overcome cognitive
conflict in the Stroop task, similar to those results found using suggestion and hypnosis
manipulation.

Full textThis study aims to explore the utilisation of hypnosis and hypnotherapy in providing therapeutic support to two primary school children who experience emotional difficulties. The purpose of this study is to ascertain what the emotional experiences of children are during the process of Ericksonian hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I attempted to utilise an Interpretive/Constructive paradigm, as it acknowledges that individuals construct their own realities based on their personal experiences and perceptions. In line with this perspective, the Ericksonian approach accepts and utilises whatever individuals bring with them into therapy in a respectful and gentle manner. The research design consisted of two case studies. I requested that parents of both participants complete a background questionnaire. This was followed by an unstructured interview with the parents and class teachers. Another unstructured interview was warranted in both cases. I utilised the assessment criteria according to Geary's Process model to identify the various hypnotic phenomena in each case. I used the hypnotic phenomena to assist with structuring therapeutic goals. The symptom behaviours and beliefs also impacted on other aspects of the participants' lives. Various themes emerged and linked with the therapeutic use of these phenomena, I attempted to address the problems by utilising the process model of Ericksonian hypnosis. The themes that emerged during data analysis were verified and categorised during data production. A variety of hypnotherapeutic techniques was utilised to help participants gain mastery and control of their respective realities. The Ericksonian Diamond model was utilised to tailor all interventions to the unique needs and developmental level of each participant. The findings of this study indicate that Ericksonian hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a powerful intervention strategy that yields positive results in a relatively short period of time with young children. It was found that this therapeutic strategy could be utilised as a main course or an adjunct to other therapeutic interventions. My study concludes by acknowledging the limitations and provides recommendations for future research.

Full textThe use of hypnotic suggestion is of considerable interest for the study of cognitive processes and their modulations. Over the last few decades, a growing number of studies have demonstrated that direct verbal suggestions, induced in highly suggestible individuals, can lead to drastic, transient and authentic changes in conscious experience and cognition. While these influences have been established for various processes, the impact of hypnotic suggestion has yet to be determined for cognitive processes linked to emotional processing. The aim of this thesis was to characterise the influence of hypnotic suggestion on emotional processes, by studying the modulation of attentional bias and lexico-emotional activation and inhibition processes. More specifically, our work aimed to determine (1) to what extent hypnotic suggestion can intervene in opposing ways on emotional processes, (2) which hypnotic component underlies these modulations, (3) how the effects of emotional dimensions are affected by hypnotic suggestion (4) how hypnotic suggestion can facilitate the inhibition of prepotent responses when processing emotional stimuli. To this end, we combined hypnotic suggestions aimed at increasing or decreasing emotional reactivity with cognitive tasks using emotional words. We carried out four experimental studies using suggestions, combined with emotional Stroop (Studies 1 and 3), lexical decision (Study 4) and sentence completion (Study 6) tasks, accompanied by the validation of a suggestibility scale (Study 2) used to recruit participants, and a corpus of sentences (Study 5) used to construct experimental materials (Study 6). The data highlighted that hypnotic suggestion (Studies 1 and 3), as well as hypnotic induction by relaxation (Study 3), lead to effective modulations of attentional bias in the emotional Stroop task. Furthermore, we have shown that hypnotic suggestion can specifically influence the effect of the arousal dimension of emotional words presented in the lexical decision task (Study 4), and facilitate the inhibition of emotional words in the emotional Hayling task (Study 6). Overall, the results help to clarify the influence of hypnotic suggestion on emotional processes in cognitive tasks using emotional words. They suggest that the modulation mode of hypnosis is plural, being able to influence emotional processes in opposite ways, act on the effect of specific emotional dimensions, and involve several components of the hypnotic procedure. We propose avenues for further research that could lead to a new understanding of the interaction between hypnosis and emotions, and to prospects for clinical application in the field of emotional regulation

Full textIn the present work, we posit that a clearer outline of the interaction between hypnotic suggestion and attention would help establishing the precise point in the perceptual timeline at which hypnosis effects intervene, how exactly do they modulate cognitive control, and to what extent is hypnotic responding dependent on attentional resources. In order to tend to these experimental questions, we developed three research projects: (1) the normative data on our French translation for the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, (2) an evaluation of the effects of posthypnotic suggestion on visuospatial attention, and (3) an evaluation on the capability of hypnotic suggestion to modulate the automatic attention allocation granted by the anger-saliency effect. The results from our first study allowed us to reliably score the hypnotic susceptibility of over 500 participants for the studies that ensued. Results from our second study indicated that for highly susceptible participants, posthypnotic suggestion successfully disrupted the early attentional mechanisms necessary for the fostering of priming, as well as late subjective visual awareness judgments. Our third study revealed that, through hypnotic suggestion, highly susceptible participants were able to deflect automatic attention allocation towards targets’ task-irrelevant angry features through strategic decoupling of cognitive control, but only when attentional resources were not coopted by competing processes. Pooled together, our findings support the ideas that hypnosis enacts its effects through cognitive control, that these can disrupt both early and late attentional mechanisms in distinct manners, and that the availability of attentional resources determines the range of action of hypnotic induction and suggestion
