ABSTRACT
Both hypnosis and psychology are fields that are wider than any specialty. Psychologists share the study of hypnosis with physicians and dentists, in particular. On the academic side, they share psychology with sociologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, and many other specialists. The distinguishing mark of the psychologist is his interest in mental and emotional processes, whether theoretical, experimental, or applied. In the practical use of hypnosis, his place is close to the psychiatrist in clinical areas, but independent in his dealings with the dynamics of subjective and behavioral processes. A number of psychiatrists are also psychologists.
