Description
The subject of hypnosis provokes strong reactions, but it has become deeply embedded in our culture, from stage shows to therapy, and from self-help CDs to mainstream medicine and dentistry. Paul Johnson will ask: what’s really going on in hypnosis?
Paul is a hypnotherapist with a keen interest in using scientific study to strip away the unnecessary mystique and mystery so often surrounding the subject.

Additional information
The Cafe Scientifique Network
Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and
technology. Meetings have taken place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.
The first Cafes Scientifiques were held in the UK in Leeds in 1998. From there, cafes sprang up in Newcastle, Nottingham and Oxford and then
gradually spread throughout the UK. Currently, over 30 cafes meet regularly to hear scientists or writers on science talk about their work and discuss it with diverse audiences.
Cafe Scientifique is a forum for debating science issues, not a shop window for science. We are committed to promoting public engagement with science and to making science accountable.
