The Forensic Use of Hypnosis
Orne, Dinges and Orne’s December 1984 NIJ brief separates confidence and detail from accurate memory, describes risks of suggestion and confabulation, and allows a qualified role for investigative leads while opposing court testimony based on hypnosis. Its safeguards document sessions without guaranteeing accurate recollection. This is a historical review, not a new UFO study or current legal/clinical guidance. Public grant support and agency hosting do not establish a secret programme or agency endorsement of every author conclusion.
