Lifeline: Reality and the Unconscious

on BBC Television

The Consultant Psychiatrist and A doctor engaged on research in the physiology of hypnosis examine Reality and the Unconscious
In this programme hypnosis is used to explore the influence of the unconscious mind on our experience of the ordinary world.
A woman meets and talks in the studio to people who exist only in her own mind. How valid are her experiences? To what extent do they correspond to the workings of our own minds in everyday life?
The problems posed are discussed with Ernest Gellner, teacher of philosophy at the London School of Economics.
