German term
Fremdbestimmung
German to English
Medical
Psychology
Hypnosis
Full context: "Hypnotische Sprachmuster sind ein wirkungsvolles Instrument zur Unterstützung der angst- und schmerzfreien Behandlung. Sie hat nichts mit Hexerei oder Fremdbestimmung zu tun, sondern macht sich die natürlichen Entspannungszustände und die Phantasie der Kinder zunutze. Sie ermöglicht, dass ihr Kind verstärkt angenehme Dinge wahrnimmt, unangenehme eher in den Hintergrund treten, und ihr Kind unsere Praxis mit einem guten Gefühl verlässt."
I have found "outside influences", "heteronomy" and "subordination" for this term. Are any of these suitable in this case?

It's interesting to note that the CIA allegedly began researching the use of hypnosis for manipulating people's minds (mind control) back during the 1940s.

: No hocus-pocus, Cilian. "Fremdbestimmung" is about controlling / manipulating people's minds. "Now, you're feeling very sleepy, Cilian, and you will do everything I say. First, you will pay me €20 a line to translate your girlfriend's shopping lists...".

There is also "autosuggestion," but I am not sure that works.
