Abstract
Suggestions instructing subjects to carry out a goal-directed fantasy (GDF suggestions) were no more effective than non-GDF suggestions in augmenting either reported goal-directed fantasy (GDFr) or response to suggestion in hypnotic subjects. However, GDFr was associated both with overt suggestibility and subjects' experience of their response as an involuntary occurrence. The magnitude of GDFr was in part a function of the type of questions used to elicit subjects' testimony.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
