Is hypnosis a form of psychological conditioning?
A. According to this explanation, a person learns through direct experience or through TV or the movies, how to behave ‘hypnotised.’ Another way to see hypnosis as something learned, is to assert that a person becomes conditioned to a word stimulus such as “Relax.” Once having allowed himself to relax, the client is thereafter conditioned to repeat the experience of relaxing upon hearing the stimulus-word.
