Abstract
This paper aims to highlight some contributions of hypnosis to qualitative research, especially in psychology. Based on the complex thinking, the article conceives hypnosis as a process both connected to the analogous communication and to a set of changes that characterize the trance experience, such as changes in self-world references and the emergence of unconscious processes. In its conclusion, this work points out important contributions to qualitative research regarding the subjectivity of the researcher, the reflectivity of the context of relationship, and to the subject’s experience.
