| IMPACT OF READING A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ISSUE ABOUT HYPNOSIS ON THE BELIEFS AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS HYPNOSIS AMONG PSYCHOLOGISTS | |

| Volume: Vol 1. Number 1 & 2 -- Mayo 2009 | |
| The goal of this study was to examine the influence of receiving scientific
information about hypnosis over Spanish psychologists’ beliefs and attitudes toward hypnosis.
The Valencia Scale on Attitudes and Beliefs toward Hypnosis-Therapist (VSABH-T) was
administered to 2434 Spanish psychologists. A retest and a second retest were carried out,
and between these testing administrations a monograph issue focused on hypnosis was
published in a journal that all members of the Spanish Psychological Association received.
Results indicated that psychologists who read this monograph, in general terms, changed
their misconceptions about hypnosis for correct beliefs and their negative attitudes toward
hypnosis for positive ones. Moreover, the VSABH-T was useful for detecting changes in
psychologists’ beliefs and attitudes toward hypnosis. | |
