Hypnotic Investigation of Psychosomatic Phenomena. The Development of Aphasia-Like Reactions from Hypnotically Induced Amnesias

Experimental Observations and a Detailed Case Report

MILTON H. ERICKSON M.D.1 and RICHARD M. BRICKNER M.D.2

1 Eloise Hospital, Eloise, Michigan
2 New York City

Cases are described, one in detail, in which amnesia for a specific thought or class of thoughts, was induced by hypnosis.

In all of the cases, amnesia was also developed for certain collateral thoughts. This had not been suggested by the hypnotist.

A neural interpretation of these observations is given. The nature and functions of what is thought of as the neurointellectual system are further described in the light of these observations.
