Definition: hypnosis -

A phenomenon characterized by a person's ability to respond to appropriate suggestions by altering perception or memory; usually associated with the experience of behaving nonvolitionally. Factors determining the subject's responsivity include the nature of the preexisting relationship with the hypnotist, prior expectations, beliefs, and motivations concerning hypnosis and, most important, characterologic and individual differences.
