What can you tell me about forensic hypnosis?

Answer by  xfairelanouba (88)

Forensic hypnosis is used to help victims or defendants remember things they may have unconsciously repressed during or regarding a crime. Some argue that hypnotists can alter the memories that are discovered by forensic hypnosis, so most courts do not allow it to be used as evidence. Forensic hypnosis should always be done by a trained professional.
