Abstract
Modern clinical uses of hypnosis often deal with pathology. Prophylatic uses to improve normal human functioning and performance are only occasionally addressed. This author proposes two methods, cognitive rehearsal and arousal level control, which may be achieved through hypnosis to enhance human performance. Two case reports are presented to illustrate the uses of cognitive rehearsal through neuromotor facilitation and arousal level control using numerical posthypnotic cues. Biofeedback is also discussed to provide further information relative to these methods.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
