Hypnotic Séance (1887) by Richard Bergh Photographic Studies in<unk> , Abnormal Psychology (1938)<unk>  is a human condition involving focused attention (the selective attention/selective inattention hypothesis, SASI), reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion. There are competing theories explaining<unk>  and related phenomena. Altered state theories see<unk>  as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness. In contrast, non-state theories see<unk>  as, variously, a type of placebo effect, a redefinition of an interaction with a therapist or a form of imaginative role enactment. During<unk> , a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration and an increased response to suggestions.<unk>  usually begins with a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. The use of<unk>  for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy", while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as "stage<unk> ," a form of mentalism.<unk>  for pain management "is likely to decrease acute and chronic pain in most individuals".<unk> -based therapies for the management of irritable bowel syndrome and menopause is supported by evidence. Use of<unk>  for treatment of other problems has produced mixed results, such as with smoking cessation. The use of<unk>  as a form of therapy to retrieve and integrate early trauma is controversial within the scientific mainstream. Research indicates that<unk> ing an individual may aid the formation of false memories, and that<unk>  "does not help people recall events more accurately".
