Abstract
Differences in the experiences of clinicians and laboratory investigators regarding the distribution of hypnotizability are addressed. The use of various rating scales in the clinical context is reviewed, and the importance of the scales in defining the difference, conceptually, between hypnosis and other procedures capable of achieving similar results is emphasized. The use of the scales in determining the treatment strategy is compared with the customary practice of the experienced clinician, and with the importance of the characteristics of the total clinical situation. An illustrative case report is included.
