This unit covers the nature of hypnosis (its history, definition, characteristics, measurement, explanation and neural basis); research in hypnosis (intrinsic and instrumental); views about hypnosis and hypnotisability and their relationship to psychopathology; and a selection of pathological conditions that have been/can be modelled by hypnosis.
