| 摘要 | This study was a two-part investigation of hypnosis. The first part drew on Buddhist philosophy to theoretically explore the intrapersonal process of the hypnotized person. The second part drew on poetic traditions to research the interpersonal process between a hypnotist and a client. Both processes--the intra- and the interpersonal--were understood as conversations. The following questions were addressed: How can a poetic analysis of the conversation between a hypnotist and client provide aesthetic access to the hypnotherapeutic processes of change? And how can the conversation between the hypnotist and client alter the client's conversation within? This study focused on the interaction between these two conversations. While theories of hypnosis are diverse and contradictory, most hypnotists have agreed that hypnosis has to do with how ideas are exemplified in changing body behaviors. Hypnosis is usually defined, however, in psychological (mind) or physiological (body) terms. Cartesian assumptions and the linear structure of language prevent it from being explained as the relation between mind and body. To avoid the dilemma of describing hypnosis in a nomenclature that reflects divisive suppositions, this study drew on traditions that lie outside Western sciences. Buddhist meditators have articulated the difference between ordinary thoughts and perceptions and the phenomenological mind-body experiences that arise during meditation. Buddhist ideas were used to theoretically discuss the intrapersonal process, and the phenomenological mind-body changes that occur during hypnotic conversations. To examine the interpersonal process, poetic distinctions that literary critics might use to explore poetic texts were utilized to investigate the poetic qualities of hypnotic conversations. Poetic distinctions were combined with analytic techniques drawn from conversation and discourse analysis to examine a transcribed hypnosis session. Information gathered from interviews with the client were interspersed within the analysis. Gregory Bateson (1979) posed an intriguing question about connecting different vantage points: "What bonus or increment of knowing follows from combining information from two or more sources?" (p. 71). This study proposed a similar question: What new understanding about hypnosis comes from juxtaposing a discussion about an intrapersonal, mind-body conversation within a hypnotized person with an inter-personal, mind-body conversation between a hypnotist and client? |
