Methodologies of Hypnosis (Psychology Revivals)

<p>Originally published in 1976 this title looks closely at the current nature of controls in hypnosis research at the time and tries to assess what they contributed to our knowledge of hypnosis. Specifically the book analyses the contributions to our understanding of hypnotic phenomena offered by the application of six contemporary methodologies or paradigms of hypnosis. The primary concern is with those paradigms that are experimental rather than clinical in orientation and which had emerged over the previous decade as coherent programmatic collections of procedural strategies all of them associated with distinct and important views of how hypnotic behaviour can best be explained.</p>
