ABSTRACT
According to Kihlstrom (1985) hypnosis can be defined as:
a social interaction in which one person, designated the subject, responds to the suggestions offered by another person, designated the hypnotist, for experiences involving alterations in perception, memory and voluntary action. In the classic case, these experiences and their accompanying behavior are associated with subjective conviction bordering on delusion, and involuntariness bordering on compulsion.(p. 386)
