Psycho-hypnosis

[felinechums]

Does anyone know anything about psycho-hypnosis? It is not listed in Wikipaedia and there is little about it in google.I read recently in an article about a serial killer that healthcare professionals working with him had to be careful as he had studied psycho-hypnosis. Does anyone know what this might be?

i will give you my fact for the day Felinechums:

A person cannot be hypnotised unless they are a willing participant.

Thanks Jimmer, I am aware that hypnosis requires two-way co-operation, but hypnosis is a different matter from my question. What I am talking about is psychohypnosis which appears to be a pseudo-scientific attempt to control the behaviour of others through the manipulation of eye contact, body language, word association and topic selection. I was hoping for some more information on it, but apart from a few entries in Google I have drawn a blank.

Thanks again for your answer - nice to know that you are interested.

hypnosis is hypnosis is hypnosis. psycho-hypnosis is just another way of saying hypnosis and nobody, serial killers included, can use it on people against their will. Psycho means person and hypnosis means sleep-like state so the terms can be used interchangably.
