There is a common claim that no one can be hypnotized against his will। http://louis-j-sheehan.biz


The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis's web site says "Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention."

It often appears as if the hypnotized participant accepts the authority of the hypnotist over his or her own experience. When asked after the conclusion of such a session, some participants claim to be genuinely unable to recall the incident, while others say that they had known the hypnotist was wrong but at the time it had seemed easier just to go along with his instructions. (Richard Feynman describes this, in his memoir Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, as his own hypnotic experience.)http://louis-j-sheehan.biz
