>He was a hypnotherapist who claimed that in almost all cases they were able to use hypnosis to get information about what happened even if the conscious person was completely unable to recall any details.

There's no guarantee that the information they received was true. I imagine hypnosis is in the same category as lie detectors with respect to its...interpretability.

Even if hypnotherapy only brings out incorrect tales if there is improvement in the patients wellness I would view that as a valid treatment, but obviously there are a lot of metrics that are impractical to measure to make valid scientific statements about it. I'm not a hypnotherapist, not do I visit one.

Except for the folks accused of doing things in said made up memories - like all the poor bastards railroaded in the 90’s as part of the crazy satanic panic Bs.

Fair view. But I dont think lie detectors is a reasonabke compare. IIRC lie detectors ask questions with a true or false answer. These hypnotherapy sessions involve the individual under care to tell a story. They're typically not even aware they spoke at the end of the session.

I appreciate many think it's snake oil, I did too years ago. But have seen first hand great results.

It's also a very convenient thing for the FBI to have you believe I guess.
