The main goal of this article is to take a look at veracity of information about hypnosis on the polish Internet. The research question that was asked: is polish Internet informative or disinformative as a source of knowledge about hypnosis. To answer this question, content analysis was done and an interview with a hypnosis expert was undertaken.
