Description

Bisher werden Behandlungsbedürftige, welche in den hypnotischen Zustand versetzt werden sollen, der sogenannten individuellen Hypnose unterzogen, bei welcher der behandelnde Arzt als Hypnotiseur auftritt. Während des Heilschlafes wird dann vom Arzt die eigentliche medizinisch-ärztliche Behandlung durchgeführt. Diese Methode setzt die jeweilige Eignung des Arztes als Hypnotiseur voraus, ist also nicht für alle Arzte geeignet. Sie bedingt außerdem eine erhebliche seelische und körperliche Beanspruchung des Arztes. Dieser ist auch für die ganze Zeitdauer der hypnotischen Behandlung festgelegt, kann sich also nicht währenddessen anderen ärztlichen Angelegenheiten widmen. So far, those in need of treatment who are in the hypnotic state should be moved, subjected to the so-called individual hypnosis, in which the attending physician acts as a hypnotist. Then during the healing sleep the actual medical-medical treatment carried out by the doctor. This method assumes the respective suitability of the doctor as a hypnotist, so it is not for suitable for all doctors. It also requires a considerable mental and physical Stress on the doctor. This is also hypnotic for the entire duration Treatment is fixed and cannot be dealt with in other medical matters dedicate.

Es wurde gefunden, daß diese Nachteile mit Hilfe eines Gerätes zur Herbeiffihrung des hypnotischen Zustandes von Behandlungsbedürftigen beseitigt werden können. Ein solches Gerät besteht erfindungsgemäß im wesentlichen aus einer auf die Augen des zu Behandelnden einstellbaren Lichtquelle und aus einem den Hypnosetext wiedergebenden Tonerzeuger. Beim letzteren ist die Ausbildung zweckvoll so getroffen, daß das Umschalten vom Einschläferungstext auf den Heiltext in Anpassung an den hypnotischen Zustand des Bebandelten erfolgen kann. It has been found that these disadvantages with the help of a device for Induction of the hypnotic state of those in need of treatment can. According to the invention, such a device consists essentially of one the eyes of the person to be treated adjustable light source and from one the hypnosis text reproducing sound generator. In the case of the latter, the training is expediently made in such a way that that switching from the euthanasia text to the healing text in adaptation to the hypnotic state of the bandaged person can take place.

Als Lichtquelle findet vorzugsweise ein augestrahlter und reflektierender oder ein durchleuchteter Kristall Verwendung, der gegebenenfalls beweglich sein kann. Es werden also nach der Erfindung ruhende oder bewegte Lichteffekte hervorgerufen, die auf die Augen des zu Behandelnden einwirken. Dabei empfiehlt es sich, diese Lichteffekte in Anpassung atf den Hypnosetext zu ändern, nämlich fortschreitend zu verschleiern. Dadurch kann der Eintritt des Hypnosezustandes beschleunigt werden. Derartige Lichteffekte lassen sich beispielsweise durch elektromagnetische oder elektrostatische Beeinflussung elektrischer Entladungen in fluoreszierenden Gasen hervorrufen. Es ist aber auch möglich, farbige oder farblose Kristalle in ihrer Wirkung mittels geeigneter Perforationen (Lochscheiben) zu ändern. Es kommt vornehmlich eine Änderung zwischen Klarlicht und Dämmerlicht in Betracht. An emitted and reflective light source is preferably used as the light source or use a transilluminated crystal that may be movable can. According to the invention, static or moving light effects are produced, which act on the eyes of the person to be treated. It is recommended to do this Light effects in adaptation atf to change the hypnosis text, namely progressively to disguise. This can accelerate the onset of the hypnotic state. Such light effects can be, for example, by electromagnetic or electrostatic influence of electrical discharges in fluorescent gases cause. But it is also possible to have colored or colorless crystals in their Change the effect by means of suitable perforations (perforated disks). It primarily comes considering a change between clear light and dim light.

Wie bereits erwähnt, ist auch der Tonerzeuger verstellbar, damit seine Wirkung dem jeweiligen Zustand des Behandelten entspricht (Entspannungszustand, Schlafzustand, Aufnahmezustand, Bereitschaft für Suggestion usf.). As already mentioned, the tone generator is also adjustable, so its effect corresponds to the respective state of the person being treated (state of relaxation, State of sleep, state of absorption, readiness for suggestion, etc.).

Dabei empfiehlt es sich, die Ausbildung so zu treffen, daß die Steuereinrichtung, mittels welcher der Tonerzeuger schaltbar ist, in Abhängigkeit von dem Behandlungszustand des zu Behandelnden betätigt wird. In der gleichen Weise wird vorteilhafterweise die Verstelleinrichtung, welche zur Änderung der Wirkung der Lichtquelle dient, in Abhängigkeit von dem Behandlungszustand des zu Behandelnden beeinflußt. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Unterschied in der Muskelspannung bei Wachzustand und Hypnosezustand herangezogen werden. It is advisable to make the training so that the control device, by means of which the sound generator can be switched, depending on the treatment status of the person to be treated is operated. In the same way it will be advantageous the adjustment device, which is used to change the effect of the light source, influenced depending on the treatment status of the person to be treated. To this Purpose can be the difference in muscle tension in the waking state and in the hypnotic state can be used.

Es ist bekannt, daß die Muskulatur beim Eintritt des Entspannungs- und Schlafzustandes erschlafft.It is known that when the relaxation begins, the muscles and sleep state.

Es ist aber auch, um ein anderes Beispiel zu nennen, möglich, den im Wachzustand und Schlafzustand unterschiedlichen elektrischen Körperwiderstand des Behandelten zur Betätigung eines Relais zu verwenden.However, to give another example, it is also possible to use the Different electrical body resistance in the waking and sleeping states of the treated person to operate a relay.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing shown.

Die Haube a enthält die Lichtquelle b, z. B. eine Glühbirne, der ein ruhender oder drehbarer Kristall c in einer geeigneten Halterungd vorgeschaltet sein kann. The hood a contains the light source b, e.g. B. a lightbulb that a stationary or rotating crystal c is connected upstream in a suitable holder d can be.

An dem Arm e eines Trägers f ist die Verstelleinrichtung g angebracht, welche die Anderung der Lichteffekte ermöglicht. The adjusting device g is attached to the arm e of a carrier f, which allows changing the lighting effects.

An dem Trägers befindet sich auch der Tonerzeuger h, welcher ein Magnetophon oder ein anderes geeignetes Gerät zur Wiedergabe aufgenommener Töne sein kann. Ihm ist, wie schon erwähnt, eine Steuereinrichtung i zugeordnet, welche es ermöglicht, die Tonwiedergabe zu ändern, gegebenenfalls von einem Band, z. B. mit dem Einschläferungstext, auf ein anderes Band, z. B. mit dem Heiltext, umzuschalten. On the carrier is also the tone generator h, which a Magnetophone or other suitable device for playing back recorded sounds can be. As already mentioned, a control device i is assigned to it, which it allows to change the sound reproduction, if necessary from a tape, e.g. B. with the euthanasia text on another tape, e.g. B. with the healing text to switch.
