Abstract
In the seven cases reported in chapters 5, 6, and 7, I have emphasized the similarities between the clinical symptoms and hypnotic behavior. Further suggestive evidence of their relatedness lies in the frequently episodic nature of the clinical picture, at times strange and dramatic; its limited duration and tendency to recur; its inaccessibility to logic; its tendency to run its course autonomously; and when intense, its near-total absorption of the patient who becomes disconnected from his other experiences and activities, although at some level continues to be aware of them. In addition, all the patients reported were highly hypnotizable.
