quote
Dr. Benjamin Simon stated: "Hypnosis is a useful procedure in psychiatry to direct concentrated attention on some particular point in the course of the whole therapeutic procedure. In cases like the Hills,’ it can be the key to the locked room, the amnesiac period. Under hypnosis, experiences buried in amnesia may be recalled in a much shorter time than in the normal course of the psychotherapeutic process. Nevertheless, there is little produced under or by hypnosis that is not possible without it. The charisma of hypnosis has tended to foster the belief that hypnosis is the magical and royal road to the TRUTH. In one sense this is so, but it must be understood that hypnosis is a pathway to the truth as it is felt and understood by the patient. The truth is what he believes to be the truth, and this may or may not be consistent with the ultimate nonpersonal truth."
