Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.10
Why might it be considered unethical to use hypnosis as a treatment method without well-established empirical support?
It may provide false hope or potentially harm patients who need other interventions.
It undermines the credibility of psychology as a field of study when used indiscriminately without evidence.
Patients will become dependent on hypnosis instead of addressing their issues directly.
Hypnosis is always unethical because it controls peoples' minds.
