There was a case of a mental health professional using hypnosis to plant false memories in a female patient. This happened up in New England somewhere. The professional lost his license but he did it to make a point that memories can be planted using hypnosis.

You have heard of the "False memory syndrome" group of mental health professionals. These are the people who refuse to admit that dissociation is real.

Dr. Colin Ross talks about this. He only uses hypnosis as a last resort. He also has other mental health professionals present when hypnotizing a patient and I believe he video or audio tapes the session so the patient can hear the dialog. If you, as a patient with a dissociative disorder, ever choose to be put under hypnosis for your therapy, make sure that the therapist is as professional as Dr. Ross.

The human brain is the most complicated system that scientists have found in the Universe! The brains of us with a dissociative disorder are even more complicated.
