As Freud developed his own ideas, he abandoned the use of hypnosis. This change led to more than a century of disengagement between hypnosis and psychoanalysis, characterized, with notable exceptions, by mutual avoidance, dismissiveness, and incomplete appreciation of each by the other. Earlier communications challenged the foundations of Freud's rationales and their perpetuation. Here, contemporary instances in which hypnosis and psychoanalysis are used together are reviewed briefly before exploring possibilities/opportunities for their mutual enrichment and enhancement. The judicious incorporation of insights and assets from each into the other can be implemented without violating the standard approaches and practices of the modality into which they might be imported. Examples are offered as food for thought, stepping-stones toward a rapprochement long overdue.
