Tradizionalmente l’ipnosi è considerata uno stato modificato di coscienza, anche se non è stato ancora possibile trovare un accordo generale sul fatto che essa abbia un effetto sull’attività cerebrale, senza alcun contributo della suggestione. L’esacerbazione del dibattito stato versus non-stato modificato di coscienza dell’ipnosi rischia così di aumentare il gap tra la ricerca sperimentale e la prassi psicoterapeutica. Scopo di questo articolo è quello di analizzare le principali problematiche della ricerca sull’ipnosi, le prospettive attuali e future riguardo l’individuazione di marker psicofisiologici di tale condizione e le implicazioni cliniche della più recente ricerca scientifica sull’argomento. In particolare, verranno discussi i possibili utilizzi strategici dell’associazione implicita tra ipnosi e stato modificato di coscienza come placebo, priming o meta-suggestione per aumentare l’efficacia e l’efficienza dell’intervento medico e/o psicoterapeutico.;

Keywords:Ipnosi, stato modificato di coscienza, suggestione ipnotica, psicote-rapia, placebo, priming.
