There's also evidence um Josephine Hillgard published a book called personality and hypnosis where she looked at the early life histories of former Stanford students.
Why people recommend it
Personality and hypnosis is a scientific work by Josephine Rohrs Hilgard that investigates the early life histories of former Stanford students to understand the psychological and developmental correlates of hypnotizability. Dr. David Spiegel discussed the book on multiple episodes of The Rich Roll Podcast to explore the complex factors associated with how easily a person can enter a hypnotic trance. Spiegel noted that Hilgard's research examined the early life histories of former Stanford students and found that higher hypnotizability was associated with specific positive and negative factors, including imaginative involvement. By bringing up this specialized psychological literature, Spiegel illustrated how childhood environments, personality traits, and internal imaginative capacities shape human cognitive architecture and brain function. The book serves as a foundational reference for modern psychiatric and neurobiological discussions surrounding mind-body practices, the mechanics of therapeutic trances, and the broader clinical applications of hypnosis in treating various psychological and physical conditions.
