چکیده

This paper presents an overview of the essential nature of hypnosis as it is studied and practised today.

It is concluded that although clinical hypnosis has yet to be informed by a strong academic base, progress is being made to that end and its potential scope and value in clinical practice have probably yet to be realized.
