Abstract
An interview sample of 120 university students yielded evidence that 15% had some kind of reaction to hypnosis that endured an hour or longer following an individual Form C session subsequent to group hypnosis. If those with short-term reactions lasting from 5 minutes to 1 hour are added, the number with some lingering effect rises to 31%. Although these symptoms following laboratory hypnosis were not found to be severe, their presence is of importance both for theoretical and practical reasons. Although as found in an earlier study, sequelae to hypnosis were more frequent among those with unpleasant reactions to earlier childhood anesthesia, the difference did not reach statistical significance.
