You might consider the rival approaches to explaining hypnotic responding;
traditional (state) views (held by the majority of
clinicians/practitioners) and the social-psychological (nonstate) approach
favored by many researchers.
I'd also suggest you check out the latest volume of <see your subject

these days.
