Hypnosis: a sesquicentennial essay

J F Kihlstrom. Int J Clin Exp Hypn. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

The present paper views Coe's (1992) reflections on the sociopolitical interests in clinical and experimental hypnosis against the background of Braid's Neurypnology of 1843. Topics considered are: the significance of the label "hypnosis"; the controversy over state; the tension between credulity and skepticism; the problem of dissociation and automaticity; current theoretical conflicts; and the relationships between practitioners and researchers.
