Varieties of Hypnotic Amnesia

Abstract
Eight detailed examples of the varieties of hypnotic amnesia found in clinical and naturalistic settings are presented together with a number of Erickson's innovative approaches to inducing hypnotic amnesia. The relevance of these examples for current experimental work in hypnotic amnesia is discussed. A case is made for conceptualizing hypnotic amnesia in clinical practice as“state-bound.” The significant place of amnesia in hypnotherapy is summarized.
