Identifying hypnotic sequelae: the problem of attribution.
A case of apparent hypnotic sequelae occurring in a non-clinical research context (involving a college student) is reported. Following his participation in a group session in which a standard hypnotic susceptibility scale was administered, 19 year-old Michael reported a number of reactions common to the hypnotic sequelae literature including dizziness, a mild headache, trembling, and slight nausea. An interview with Michael revealed several alternative sources of his reaction, highlighting the ever-present problem of attribution.
