The Council finds that recollections obtained during hypnosis can involve confabulations and pseudomemories and not only fail to be more accurate, but actually appear to be less reliable than nonhypnotic recall. The use of hypnosis with witnesses and victims may have serious consequences for the legal process when testimony is based on material that is elicited from a witness who has been hypnotized for the purposes of refreshing recollection.
委员会发现，在催眠过程中获得的回忆可能包含虚构和虚假记忆，不仅不会更准确，而且实际上似乎比非催眠回忆更不可靠。当证人的证词基于从为唤起回忆而接受催眠的证人那里引出的材料时，对证人和受害者使用催眠可能会给法律程序带来严重后果。
