Personality and hypnosis : a study of imaginative involvement
Josephine Rohrs Hilgard (Author), University of Chicago Press (Publisher)
"It has long been known that some people are more hypnotizable than others, but the nature of the personality difference between the more and the less hypnotizable has remained elusive. In Personality and Hypnosis, the mystery began to be unraveled in detail through extensive interviews with both kinds of subjects. A central characteristic of the highly hypnotizable person was found to be a capacity for absorption or deep involvement in such areas as reading, music, religion, nature, and adventure." -- back cover
