The Experience of Hypnosis (Harbinger Books)

With this major study, based largely on work done at the Laboratory of Hypnosis Research at Stanford University, a noted psychologist has taken hypnosis out of the context of the uncanny and bizarre and placed it within the scope of mornal psychology. From laboratory observation of hypnotized subjects and from reports of the subjects themselves, Professor Hilgard describes what hypnosis is like and how what happens within hypnosis is related to experiences in ordinary life.
