Page 11 - The village smithy stands; The smith, a mighty man is he, With large and sinewy hands; And the muscles of his brawny arms Are strong as iron bands. His hair is crisp, and black, and long, His face is like the tan; His brow is wet with honest sweat, He earns whate'er he can, And looks the whole world in the face, For he owes not any man.

Because the interactions which have preceded the hypnotic session may well have a profound effect...

Page 8 - ... profoundly alter some aspects of the subjects' behavior and experience (London and Fuhrer 1961). Thus, there is a strong expectancy that hypnosis will facilitate recall. Subjects in the hypnotic situation feel relaxed and less responsible for what they say since they believe that the hypnotist is both an expert and somehow in control. The hypnotist in turn makes certain that subjects cannot "fail.
Page 16 - Subjects will use prior information and cues in an inconsistent and unpredictable fashion; in some instances such information is incorporated in what is confabulated, while in others the hypnotic recall may be virtually unaffected.
