Measuring hypnotizability: the case for self-report depth scales and normative data.
Conventional suggestion-based tests of hypnotizability have been criticized because they confound hypnotic and nonhypnotic suggestibility. One way around this might be to measure hypnotizability in terms of differences in suggestibility before and after hypnotic induction. However, analysis of data from a 1966 classic study by Hilgard and Tart confirms that difference scores are subject to statistical and methodological problems. Simple verbal hypnotic depth scales are presented as a useful alternative. They correlate well with conventional suggestion-based measures and enable the presence of hypnosis to be indexed independently of formal hypnotic induction procedures. Criticisms of depth scales are addressed, and normative data for the Long Stanford Scale of hypnotic depth are presented, along with data lending empirical support for the construct validity of depth reports.

Although abundance comes in several mediums such as friends and wonderful experiences, here I am going to concentrate on money as being a representation of abundance and wealth. This rather narrow definition...
Over the years I have talked to many people – including a few very close friends – who have developed an intense fear of wide open spaces (agoraphobia). This affects their ability to socialize outside and often prevents them from traveling. They know that this fear is illogical and needlessly impacting on their happiness and relationships. But, they don’t seem to be able to free themselves from this dilemma.
Agoraphobia is a fear that normally develops during early years of our lives. This is the period when the human brain has not yet fully developed coping mechanisms. So, when...
The definition of hypnotherapy is one that receives very little consensus among associations and lawmakers. Of course, it involves a process of hypnosis. In general, debates are often centered on whether the practice of hypnotherapy involves the practice of medicine or psychology and psychotherapy.
The word hypnotherapy is a contraction for hypnosis and therapy. Hypnosis is a process whereby a subject's ability to focus their thinking is made more efficient and effective. On the other hand, therapy, which is synonymous with treatment, is a process that is intended to resolve a problem with...
