Hypnosis: the inside story | Coffee break research at LSE

What is hypnosis? Can everyone be hypnotised? Does being able to hypnotise other people change how you see the world? LSE anthropologist Dr Nick Long spent over 16 months living and working with hypnotists in Indonesia to find out. Organised in conjunction with the "Faces of hypnosis" exhibition on display in LSE’s Atrium Gallery in November and December 2024, this talk explores the three most important things Nick discovered about hypnosis – and why they matter to us all.
