dc.description.abstractInformed by conversation analysis (CA), this review on hypnosis comes at an exciting and critical time in the history of hypnosis, as hypnosis is now recognised as a clinically validated and cost-effective method for attaining physical, social and emotional wellbeing. For this reason, it is important that a review of hypnosis theories and research be conducted to promote deeper understandings of what hypnosis is. From this review, the chapter calls for educational (and other) planet shapers to scientifically investigate naturally occurring interaction between the hypnotist and the highly skilled subject in real world clinical settings so that our research might inform policy, theory, research, and practice. An implication from this review is that problems in agreeing on a single definition of hypnosis have been complicated by an overwhelming focus on the activities of only one of the participants in the hypnotic relationship, and by applying standardised experimental procedures in an effort to obtain "controlled" results. The chapter highlights the limitations with experimental studies of hypnosis interaction (between the hypnotist and the subject), and particularly deep hypnosis (between the hypnotist and the highly skilled subject). This review calls for researchers to bear in mind that we still know little when it comes to understanding the processes that are involved in interaction during deep hypnosis. The chapter concludes with a recommendation for the use of CA.
