Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who invented the phrase, "Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better"?

Answer: Emil Coue

Emil Coue was a French pharmacist who studied autosuggestion circa 1920. You may have seen this idea expressed differently, but the words above are the original English words that Emil Coue used.
2. Which physician coined the phrase "animal magnetism"?

Answer: Franz Anton Mesmer

Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer was an Austrian physician in the late 1700s whose theory of healing included manipulating the universal "magnetic" fluid he believed to be present in everything. The term "mesmerize" comes from the hypnotic state he induced during his very theatrical treatments to balance the magnetic fluid in his patients.
3. During which decade was hypnosis recognized by the American Medical Association as a valid therapeutic technique?

Answer: 1950s

In 1958, the American Medical Association approved a report on the medical uses of hypnosis.
4. Who is most likely to follow a suggestion given while in the hypnotic state to rob a bank at noontime tomorrow?

Answer: a thief

A hypnotized subject will reject any suggestion that is against their moral character. For example, a suggestion to rob a bank would be rejected by someone for whom robbing banks is against their moral character. However, if the person is already a thief, the suggestion might be followed.

As another example, if the hypnotist suggests that the hypnotized subject do a strip tease act and take off all their clothes, the suggestion would only be followed by those subjects who consider that to be acceptable behavior.
5. Which is the most frequent reason clients visit clinical hypnotists?

Answer: smoking cessation

Although a clinical hypnotist deals with all of these issues, by far most of a clinical hypnotist's business is from those desiring to quit smoking.
6. What is the first part of a clinical hypnosis session called when the client is first put into the hypnotic state?

Answer: induction

An investigative interview is an important step a clinical hypnotist should take to learn the particulars of a client's issue. Induction is the generally accepted term for the process of putting the client into, inducing, the hypnotic state.
7. What do you call a suggestion given while in the hypnotic state that is carried out sometime later after emerging from the hypnotic state?

Answer: post hypnotic

Post hypnotic suggestions are essential in clinical hypnosis. They are used to effect the desired behavior in a client such as not smoking or sticking to a healthy diet, behaviors which are to continue long after the hypnotic session has ended.
8. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Answer: True

It is always the client that does the work during a hypnosis session. The hypnotist is there merely to assist. Think of the hypnotist as a coach or a guide.
9. The hypnotic state is a very special state that is attained only through the help of a hypnotist or extensive meditative practice.

Answer: False

The hypnotic state is actually a very common occurrence in every human's life and is entered into to varying degrees many times every day. Have you ever been driving your car and then suddenly become aware that you hadn't been paying attention? You were in a hypnotic state. Even more common is the trance state entered while watching plays, movies, or television.
10. Which doctor opened an office in Calcutta in 1845 and began performing operations using hypnosis to dull the patient's sensitivity to pain?

Answer: James Esdale

Dr. James Esdale performed his surgeries before the discovery of anesthesia. At that time, surgeries were very painful and often fatal. Dr. Esdale's surgeries were painless, and he achieved a survival rate that was very much greater than the average at the time. Later, the ease and certainty of anesthetics supplanted hypnosis for surgical use.
