Abstract
Like most seminal thinkers in hypnosis, Kenneth Bowers’ interests and contributions have ranged beyond that particular domain. The list of his published works is impressive by anyone’s standards, and includes important contributions in the areas of health, psychotherapy, and hypnosis. This paper will focus on his major contribution to personality theory, “Situationism in Psychology: An Analysis and Critique,” published in 1973 in the Psychological Review.
