A review of the sciences.

In the minds of many people the word hypnosis conjures up visions of the supernatural, of loss of will-power and self-control. Is this true, and what are the potential dangers, if any?
Horizon attempts to clarify the misconceptions and confusions surrounding this emotive subject and investigates some of its present-day uses in medicine. Tonight's programme includes film of a Caesarean operation: in this the mother was helped by hypnosis used in conjunction with a general anaesthetic-probably for the first time in Britain.
