No, absolutely not
No.
Unlikely.
While I am sure that there are some that would speak to doing so the answer is no! First of all most people with psychosis cannot focus enough to be hypnotized and most will also have an element of paranoia that will rule against hypnosis or worse yet turn it into an attack that they must rally against...On the other hand for a select few it might be used as a relaxation technique but I for one would never recommend nor use it in such patients.
