Hypnosis and meditation share phenomenological and neurophysiological features, and their comparison is a topic of growing interest in the scientific literature. In this article, we review a classification of these two kinds of non-ordinary states of consciousness, and discuss the studies that directly compare them. Some findings seem to suggest that hypnosis and meditation are distinct phenomena, while others underline their similarities, but experiments that directly contrast them are still scarce and no consensus has been reached yet. While this comparison could give us fundamental insights into central issues concerning the role of attention, metacognition and executive control in the study of consciousness, it is clear that we are still at the early stages of this research.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: This article reviews the latest literature regarding chronic pain epidemiology and describes pain-specific psychological factors associated with the development and maintenance of chronic pain, mental health conditions that co-occur with chronic pain, and advances in the psychobehavioral treatment of chronic pain, including established treatments (ie, cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT], acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction) and emerging treatments (ie, pain reprocessing therapy).
Latest Developments: In addition to CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy for pain, numerous other psychological treatment modalities have been integrated into chronic pain management, including mindfulness-based stress reduction, mindfulness meditation, chronic pain self-management, relaxation response, pain neuroscience education, biofeedback, hypnosis, and, more recently, integrative psychological treatment for centralized pain. This article gives an overview of these methods and contextualizes their use within the standard psychological treatment of chronic pain.
