Abstract:
Hypnosis and trance states are as old as man himself. Over the years, many misconceptions concerning this phenomenon have arisen from lack of knowledge and misrepresentations in the literature and on the stage; however, these are being dispelled as more scientific research into the nature of hypnosis is undertaken.
