Abstract
The role of hypnosis in relation to the production of antisocial behavior is re-evaluated. Both specific psychodynamic factors which play a role in creating conditions under which antisocial behavior is possible and the relationship of this kind of behavior to the social context within which it takes place are examined. Particular emphasis is placed on the personality of the hypnotist and the emergent compliance of the patient. In this connection, clinical material is presented from the current treatment of several patients who have been involved in antisocial behavior in connection with the use of hypnosis.Keywords
