Hi today i am starting the article on covert hypnosis 23/august/2006 i will be as scientific as possible with lots of references and quotations

I know many will immediately disagree with any ideas portrayed about covert hypnosis; because its even more eccentric than the concepts in formal hypnosis; but i hope we can overcome this by me talking about covert-hypnosis as a phenoma that some people believe in......and therefore it deserves credit.

Error265

I dont know how to use references properly; i have some verifiable sources (i still need more) but cant reference them right.. please may you help

Verifiability is being worked on!

[edit] Origin section

I deleted this section as original research. It cited references, but it should have been a distillation of material already published, not an essay.TheRingess 07:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm so pleased with the article - thanks to anyone who made it fit, i would have spent more time but have been busy, but its a fine article now (IMO) i might write one quoting alot of erickson on indirect hypnosis soon.. coz i'm pleased that its now a resource for people.. the amount of people who have never heard of covert hypnosis is unbelievable so i like it when people learn new things...

Cheers all Error265

[edit] merge with milton model.

  • Merge: This describes and application of the milton model. It could be merged there. --Comaze 12:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

You have a point of course and I'm not sure whether I disagree or agree yet. This area is continually evolving and needs room to breathe as well along with changes in language. I believe as long as the roots with the Milton Model are made abundantly clear, having a seperate page encourages (and reports on) more innovation. Otherwise, if everything is on the Milton Model page, there will likely be debates about whether something follows the Milton Model or not. Milton Erickson would not want such constraints. On another note, even though it's not inaccurate I don't really like the term 'covert hypnosis'. There is a slight negative cannotation to that. I think the term 'conversational hypnosis' is a bigger umbrella and doesn't encourage a negative reputation. Siraj555 21:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC) pogi
