Forensic hypnosis has been around awhile and from time to time I am asked how it works.  It is for this reason that I’ve included this interesting article in my blog. 

In general, specially trained hypnotists use hypnosis to help victims of crime remember details of what happened.  When victims are afraid, it is not uncommon for them to be unable to recall consciously important things that police need to know to help them.  Details such as license plate numbers, dates, times, clothingitems worn by the criminal or tatoos can all be supremely important in investigating crimes and, luckily, can be recalled more clearly when hypnosis sessions are conducted properly. 

This article is one of the first I have ever seen that talks about how hypnosis can help criminals remember things.  Check it out and see what you think.
