چکیده

127. This is a major theoretical paper. In a major departure from his sociocognitive position of 20-30 years ago, T. X. Barber presents his newest, eclectic theoretical conceptualizations of hypnosis. Although basically limited to examining highly responsive subjects, he conceptualizes 3 subtypes of high hypnotizables: amnesia-prone subjects, fantasy-prone subjects, or those with a positive set to respond to hypnotic suggestions (the more sociocognitive dimension). He further hypothesizes that there are “at least” 3 subtypes of fantasy-prone individuals: those developing fantasy in association with imaginative childhood activities; those who developed their fantasy talents to escape from undesirable early life environments; and those who became proficient in fantasizing by engaging in increasingly realistic sexual fantasies. He likewise subdivides amnesia-prone subjects into “at least” 2 subtypes: one learned in order to escape abusive childhood experiences (to block out or dissociate them), and a subtype that responded to adult desires for them to have amnesia about abuse. Thus, both types of amnesia-prone people, Barber believes, are a response to aversive, abusive childhoods. Finally, he also identifies “at least” 2 subtypes of “positively set individuals”: 1) Highly socialized, empathic, cooperative persons who adopt the attitudes and expectancies of others in social situations, yielding to their suggestions. 2) Individuals who have had a hypnoist remove misconceptions and fears, and maximize their positive expectations, readiness to relax, and to think or imagine along with suggestions. He also identifies 3 additional variables that may influence each of the 3 prior groups: 1) socialpsychological dimensions of the experiment; 2) the hypnotist-subject relationship; and 3) the influence of the specific suggestions.
