When I was young and accidentally cut or scraped myself, my mother would say "I'll kiss it better", she would kiss the injury, and I'd feel better. Was my mother a hypnotist?

That's what I'm curious about. Is there a difference between acquiescing to authority and hypnotism? It sounds like there's an element of the subject agreeing to play along with the "authority" of the hypnotist, at least in stage hypnosis.

Let's say someone consults a professional who's job involves helping their client during a time of great stress, like a divorce lawyer or a therapist. The professional proposes that the patient engage in a relaxation exercise with them, not mentioning erotica at all. The client has no reason or desire to engage in sexual activity with the professional. The professional spends a few minutes telling the person to perform various pseudo-meditative tasks to establish themselves as an authority and build trust. When the client has relaxed, the professional instructs the person to remove their clothes and masturbate. Do you think that someone might, in those circumstances, comply out of fear of being further victimized if they resisted?

Abugadu posted:Lol no. Do you think a woman retaining the services of a divorce attorney could, potentially, be abused by an attorney with bad intentions? Do you think a divorce attorney with bad intentions might be able, by virtue of his vocation, to identify psychologically vulnerable women among his clients? Do you think there might be any psychological utility in a victim of sexual assault blocking out the memory of being assaulted? Do you think there might be any advantage in court in saying "it was hypnosis" instead of a more prosaic explanation, especially considering the perpetrator believed he was employing hypnotism?
