Abstract
Various kinds of complications arising from the use of hypnosis are reviewed. The distinction is drawn between the induction of hypnosis when it is perceived as an episodic event, as in a laboratory context, versus the effect when it is perceived as leading to permanent changes, as in a therapeutic context. An attempt is made to draw these and other distinctions in order to understand better the possible sources of difficulties.
