Dr. David Spiegel is a psychiatrist and researcher who appears on podcasts to discuss the science and application of hypnosis, the mind-body connection, and neuroscience. Dr. Spiegel recommended his own co-authored book, Trance And Treatment, as a primary reading resource for listeners interested in exploring clinical hypnosis. Beyond his own work, he discussed several academic and sociological texts during his podcast appearances. He frequently referenced Josephine Hilgard's Personality and Hypnosis, discussing her research into the early life histories of former Stanford students to explain the developmental and environmental factors associated with higher hypnotizability, such as imaginative involvement. He also mentioned Ernest Ropiequet Hilgard's work in relation to the relief of pain through hypnosis. Additionally, Dr. Spiegel brought up Richard Katz's sociological book Boiling Energy to illustrate the use of drumming as a trance-inducing experience in African cultural traditions. Through these discussions, he utilized existing literature to contextualize the neurological and historical dimensions of human trance states.
