A main focus of this article should be a comparison between how hypnosis is used in fiction versus how it is used in real life. --Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 14:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Such a comparison would be very interesting, and might perhaps be accommodated concisely in an expanded lead to this list. Otherwise, it might be given greater play as a section in "Hypnosis" or "History of hypnosis." Nihil novi (talk) 18:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move to "Hypnosis in popular culture", merge section from Hypnosis

1. This article includes examples from television shows by Penn & Teller, Montel Williams, etc., so the title should be moved to the broader category.
2. The Section "Hypnosis in popular media" should be merged into this article. --George100 (talk) 07:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

That might work, and it would reduce the burden of the "Hypnosis" article.

If this is done, I suggest that care be given to placing items in chronological order within the individual sections of the "Hypnosis in popular culture" article. Nihil novi (talk) 09:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
