- Quantum Physics encounters Hypnosis. From theories to clinical practice
- Abstract: Giuseppe De Benedittis
A substantial body of evidence does not support the mind-body dualistic model on both epistemological and clinical grounds. In order to overcome the dichotomy between Mind and Body, a new paradigm based upon Chaotic Complex Systems Theory and Quantum Mechanics is proposed. Accordingly, Mind/Body interface represents a chaotic system, ruled by the probability principle, as shown in subatomic physics and quantum mechanics, rather than by the deterministic principle of causality. Patterns of chaotic behavior can be found in neuronal activity and applications of chaotic patterns seem to be relevant for mind-body research and the process of trance. A Quantum Consciousness theory has been proposed, largely controversial, since Quantum Physics applies to subatomic world and not to macrostructures, such as the brain. Quantum cognition is an emerging field which applies the mathematical formalism of quantum theory to explore and model cognitive phenomena such as information processing by the human brain. It overcomes limits and shortcomings of cartesian dualism as well as quantum general theory. As hypnosis is a discrete state of consciousness, it applies to hypnotic cognitive functioning rather than hypnotic structure.

- Self-hypnosis: tool for the maintenance of homeostasis for disease
prevention through the activation of inner resources- Abstract: Silvana Cagiada, Rita Pizzi
Starting from the studies on consciousness, from the point of view of both neural correlates and awareness and self-awareness, the experimentation aims to verify the possibility of being able to intervene, through the use of hypnosis, on the evolu-tionary process of homeostatic regulation and adaptation, considered as an ex-pression of pathologies in the clinical field, but also as a lever of evolution in the educational and social field. In consideration of various clinical studies on hypno-sis that report positive results after hypnotic treatment, the hypothesis is based on the possibility of acting, for preventive purposes, on the somatic, psychological and relational disfunction, which can induce an energetic blockage of emotionali-ty, educating the subject to recover and manage their energy and balance. The subjects examined and taken into consideration for research purposes were ad-ministered the MHQ test, a self-assessment scale for psychoneurotic patients, whose score, while still showing normal values, highlights the tendency to approach pathological values, at risk for the subject. The hypothesis verified is as follows: the use of hypnosis (heterohypnosis ‒ positive conditioning) for a period of one month, with weekly sessions and subsequent use of self-hypnosis, every day, for two months for preventive purposes, can allow to deconstruction the deviances and restore the resources blocked in the body structure, bringing the subject back to consciousness, directing the learning towards the recovery and maintenance of homeostasis. At the end of the trial, the verification of the achieved results was corroborated by the re-administration of the MHQ test and the statistical evalua-tion of the outcomes, which proved to be significant. The positive outcome of the study suggests that therapists can apply the experimental method on a systematic basis, making possible a fast and definitive recognition of self-hypnosis ‒ as well as hypnosis ‒ as a scientific discipline.

- Narcissus and Goldmund: the complementarity of opposites
- Abstract: Anna Guerrera
This is the story of Narcissus and Goldmund, of their lives, of their friendship. It is the story of the strength that generates from an authentic relationship, that pro-motes personal growth and integrate the opposite worlds through both real and metaphorical wandering.

- Cinematic memory
- Abstract: Antonio Piro, Luca Bidogia
In a supervision one has to grasp something new, that something that the ther-apists have not picked up and surprise the patient because she is faced with some-thing new, not identical and unknown, in order to promote a different response by the patient himself.

- Magazines and international publications
- Abstract: Renzo Balugani, Antonella Ciaramella, Nicolino Rago
This section contains a choice of the most relevant articles about hypnosis from international journals in the last six months. In this number take place an in-teresting deepening about neurobiological mechanism underpinning the hypnotic state, as well as theoretical insights of therapeutic model both in a relational and in an ericksonian key. Finally, virtuous examples of research about the use of hyp-nosis in specific medical fields, both as a stand alone treatment, both in addition to treatment as usual, in order to show faithfully the state of the art of the clinical practice in real settings.
