The three-factor theory of hypnosis as applied to the book-reading fantasy and to the concept of suggestion

Pages 89-98 | Received 20 Sep 1969, Published online: 31 Jan 2008
 

Abstract

It is maintained that many of the conflicting viewpoints in theories of hypnosis parallel the descriptive complexity of the phenomena. A three-factor theory of hypnosis is surveyed in which hypnotic depth is conceived as a complex of 3 separate but complementary processes or dimensions. The theory is then used to illuminate the book-reading fantasy and the concept of suggestion.
