“…The conundrum centers on findings indicating that the induction of hypnosis has little impact on responsiveness to suggestion and that hypnotizability scales, therefore, probably measure the effects of suggestion, not the effects of hypnosis (cf. Barber & Glass, 1962;Braffman & Kirsch, 1999Caster & Baker, 1932;Glass & Barber, 1961;Weitzenhoffer & Sjoberg, 1961;Williams, 1930).…”

“…Biermann (8) says: "In very deep hypnosis there may be a lessening, sometimes a lack, of suggestibility." Caster and Baker (13) report that 2 of their 10 subjects showed negative suggestibility in the trance! Is HYPNOSIS A DISSOCIATED STATE?…”

The present review, covering the interval from August, 1930, to June, 1939, is limited to 10 problems of experimental hypnotism (not including animal hypnosis or the forensic, therapeutic, and purely theoretical aspects) and deals with only 86 of the 350 or so books and articles published during that time. The last general review, by the writer, appeared in this journal in 1931 (85).Hull's Hypnosis and suggestibility (37),* Winn's Scientific hypnotism (83), 2 and Volgyesi's text (73) in German, exemplifying the reflexology treatment, deserve mention.Speaking generally, mention should be made of Hull's (36) list of 101 items for experimentation; Beck's (5) demonstrational silent film; Raginsky's (61) review of much material on hypnotic anesthesia; Jenness and Wible's (42) evaluation of the work on autonomic functions; and Friedlander and Sarbin's (30) article on measuring hypnotic depth.

A theory of hypnosis based mainly on principles of conditioning and inhibition is proposed, covering the hypnotic induction process, hypnotic phenomena and post‐hypnotic phenomena. The overall explanation presented is delineated in a set of three initial postulates and seven subsequent hypotheses. Hypnotic induction is defined as the giving of a series of suggestions so that a positive response to a previous suggestion conditions the subject to respond more strongly to the next suggestion. This induction process is placed in a conditioning paradigm, with the condition stimulus (CS), unconditioned stimulus (UCS), conditioned response (CR) and unconditioned response (UCR), trials and reinforcement clearly delineated. Summarized in brief, hypnotic induction is explained as the conditioning of an inhibitory set, a set which increases responsiveness to suggestion by inhibiting stimuli and thoughts which would contradict the suggested response. The various hypnotic and post‐hypnotic phenomena are explained in terms of this set. Post‐hypnotic behaviour changes are further explained as produced through a process of higher‐order conditioning; hypnosis facilitates such conditioning thanks to the inhibitory set which suppresses any interfering stimuli. The theory may be broad enough to cover not only hypnosis but also related areas such as persuasion, the placebo effect and faith.
