Abstract

Hypnosis, a practice often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions, has a rich historical lineage dating back to ancient civilizations. Our review explores the relationship between neuroanatomy, genetics, and hypnotic susceptibility, investigating organic factors influencing an individual's responsiveness to hypnosis. This review highlights the importance of hypnosis as a high-level cognitive activity, especially in pain and anxiety management, and emphasizes the potential benefits of integrating hypnosis into healthcare practices. Recent advancements in neuroimaging have provided insights into the neurological mechanisms of hypnosis, while genetic research has expanded its applications. However, persistent misconceptions hinder its acceptance. This article offers a multidisciplinary basic exploration of hypnosis, focusing on its origins, historical development related to psychiatry, the basic neuroimaging findings mainly affecting the limbic system responsible for emotion, and genetic underpinnings. We aim to inspire clinicians, social scientists, and healthcare professionals to effectively integrate the scientific basics of hypnosis into therapeutic practice, contributing to a better understanding of its role in augmenting outcomes.

Hipnoza Multidisipliner Yaklaşım: Psikiyatrik Temeli, Nörogörüntüleme ve Genetik Bulgular

Abstract

Hipnoz, sıklıkla yanlış anlaşılan ve çeşitli yanılgılarla çevrili bir uygulama olup, antik uygarlıklara kadar uzanan köklü bir tarihi geçmişe sahiptir. Bu derleme, bireyin hipnoza yanıt verme yeteneğini etkileyen organik faktörleri inceleyerek, nöroanatomi, genetik ve hipnotik duyarlılık arasındaki ilişkiyi keşfetmektedir. Bu derleme, özellikle ağrı ve kaygı yönetiminde, hipnozun yüksek düzeyde bilişsel bir aktivite olarak önemini vurgulamakta ve hipnozun sağlık uygulamalarına entegre edilmesinin potansiyel faydalarını belirtmektedir. Son zamanlarda nörogörüntüleme alanındaki ilerlemeler, hipnozun nörolojik mekanizmalarına dair içgörüler sunarken, genetik araştırmalar uygulama alanlarını genişletmiştir. Ancak, süregelen yanılgılar kabulünü engellemektedir. Bu makale, hipnozun kökenleri, psikiyatriyle ilgili tarihsel gelişimi, esas olarak duygulardan sorumlu limbik sistemi etkileyen temel nörogörüntüleme bulguları ve genetik alt yapısına odaklanarak, hipnozu multidisipliner bir şekilde keşfetmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Amacımız, klinisyenleri, sosyal bilimcileri ve sağlık profesyonellerini hipnozun bilimsel temellerini terapötik uygulamalara etkili bir şekilde entegre etmeye teşvik ederek, sonuçları iyileştirmedeki rolünü daha kapsamlı şekilde anlamalarına katkıda bulunmaktır.
