The art of hypnosis. when
scientifically applied. may cure
many imaginary ills and help
lessen the pain of real ones,
a renowned physician declared
here today.
Centuries-old knowledge of
human nature, when applied
medically through hypnosis, is
one of the physicians greatest
tools, DR.. Bernard B. of Mont
real Jewish General Hospital
told the 18th annual meeting
of the Society for Clinical and
Experimental Hypnosis at the
Willard Hotel.
DR.. Raginsky, president of
the international Society for
Clinical and Experimental
Hypnosis and past president of
the group meeting here, spoke
on the increasing role of hyp-
nosis in the practice of in
ternal medicine. There are, he
said, three things for the in
ternist to consider before US
ing the method:
/. Whether the patient is
suffering from anxiety and how
the anxiety is related to the
disease.
2. How the patient is men
tally using the symptoms. Are
they an escape method?
8. How the patient responds
to treatment for an organic
disease. Maybe there isn't
really a disease.

drums and stamp out voodoo.
But this is bad because there
is much to learn from voodoo,"
she added.
Fire walking, she said, has
been observed by scientists.
"The Haiti fire dances are
frightening. How do they do
it? I don't know" she said.
The voodoo rites, she said,
are believed to involve forms of
hypnotism often described as
possession" by gods of the
sea. the montains or the junges.
Some researchers, she said,
believe the frenzied dances and
ceremonies cut crime and help
the people let out their aggres-
sionS and hostilities through
the rites rather than on each
other.
These rites, DR.. Bowers de-
clared. are the focal point OF
the Haitian culture involving
music, art and dancing. Their
danger is that the people may
be played upon by unethical
voodoo priests" she said.
But there is much good
too"
Most voodoo rituals, she add
ed. are not those of the ex-
treme dreaded black-magic
type which formerly was used
to incite murderous rebellion
Instead, they are controlled.

Something
ToOffer

The mysterious voodoo rites
of Haiti-far from being wiped
out-should be helped to -four
ish so that medical science may
learn more about hypnotism. a
New York physician said last
night.
The age-old practices of
anesthesia through hypnotism,
such as fire dances and walk
ing ON hot Goals. are not un-
derstood by modern science and
should be studied, DR.. Mar
garetta K. Bowers of the In
stitute of Research in Hyp-
nosis, New York, declared.
Her appeal was made to the
18th annual meeting of the
Society for Clinical and Ex-
perimental Hypnosis at the
Willard Hotel. Several hundred
researchers are studying hyp-
nosis, the oldest and least un-
derstood of the medical arts.

Hypnosis Found to Aid
Real or imaginary Ills

Often, DR.. Raginsky said. a
person whose father died of a
heart attack will come to be-
lieve he too has heart disease,
The symptoms may seem real
and although heart attack is
nonexistent the person suffers
Just as much.
And in some cases, even If
the person is suffering from a
coronary condition, DR.. Ragin-
sky said, hypnosis may help
calm him down or sooth him
otherwise.
Some people just don't want
to get well, he added. They
have grown used to the sypma-
thy received because of their
illnesses. Sometimes hypnosis
helps.
AS for the stomach, he said,
this part of the body is most
sensitive to emotional troubles.
There are hiccups which won't
stop. apparent ulcers and the
problem of obesity.
In some cases, he said, hyp-
nosiS can help the hiccups sooth
the false ulcer and get at the
cause of fatneSs.
The important thing, DR..
Raginsky said, is the diagnosis.
The public and the profession,
he said, should not think of the
physician who practices hyp-
noSiS as a medical hypnotist"
He is merely using an invalu-
able tool applicable to certain
patients.
