Abstract
Like transference, spontaneous hypnotic-like dissociative phenomena often occur to varying degrees in the same person. In times of stress, this tendency for dissociation is even more pronounced. With knowledge and skill, the therapist or researcher can identify this tendency to dissociate, then can enhance, intensify, and channel it in a structured way to serve a relevant and delineated goal. As illustrated in some clinical conditions, it can well serve as the preferred adjunct in establishing an atmosphere that contains anxiety and enables a mobilization of healthward adaptive forces, leading to rapid psychotherapeutic relief.
