Abstract
An attempt is made to derive hypnosis phylogenetically from the basic adient-abient and emotional responsiveness of organisms. Hypnosis is functionally described as a state of readiness for emotional action increasingly subordinated to cortical influences as one ascends phylogeny, but nonetheless consistently present in animal organisms in a variety of forms.Keywords
