“…For example, in a special issue of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, the definition was critiqued for being excessively long (Heap, 2005), contradictory in places (McConkey, 2005), restrictive in regard to allowing for alternative theories (Rossi, 2005), and having a "lack of coherence" (Heap, 2005). Also, the definition was criticized for not including reference to states of consciousness (Barabasz, 2005;Daniel, 2005;Spiegel & Greenleaf, 2005;Yapko, 2005).…”

This article describes the history, rationale, and guidelines for developing a new definition of hypnosis by the Society of Psychological Hypnosis, Division 30 of the American Psychological Association. The definition was developed with the aim of being concise, being heuristic, and allowing for alternative theories of the mechanisms (to be determined in empirical scientific study). The definition of hypnosis is presented as well as definitions of the following related terms: hypnotic induction, hypnotizability, and hypnotherapy. The implications for advancing research and practice are discussed. The definitions are presented within the article.

“…(Green et al, 2005, p. 263) The 2003 definition was an advance, but the lack of parsimony and restriction to procedures were perceived as significant limitations. For example, in a special issue of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, the definition was critiqued for being excessively long (Heap, 2005), contradictory in places (McConkey, 2005), restrictive in regard to allowing for alternative theories (Rossi, 2005), and having a "lack of coherence" (Heap, 2005).

“…Given the substantial track record of scientific investigation and implementation in the field of hypnosis since at least the time of Hull (1933), we believe that the field as a whole knows enough to generally determine and communicate what is in and what is out of the domain of hypnosis (Hilgard, 1973;Kihlstrom, 2008). Elkins et al (2015) note Nash's (2005) advice on the need for "an optimally heuristic [definition of hypnosis] that preserves pluralism" (p. 266), advice that is consistent with comments by others and ourselves on conceptual and operational aspects of hypnosis (e.g., McConkey, 2005McConkey, , 2008Nash & Barnier, 2008;Polito, Barnier, & McConkey, 2014;Woody & McConkey, 2003). Of course, pluralism is a word and concept that can mean different things to different people.…”
