Abstract
Attention to the relationship between hypnotizability and dissociation has been limited to date. A few studies have examined instances of dissociation in the context of hypnosis. Only recently have researchers begun to ask questions about the relationship between an individual's hypnotizability and his or her tendency to dissociate on a day-to-day basis. A review of the literature and recent research in this area invites reconsideration of J. Hilgard 's theory of two developmental pathways to hypnotizability. The parallel question is also raised of whether the different pathways result in the experience of qualitatively different hypnotic states.
