Abstract

This paper presents in brief the thoughts of a person under hypnosis, and the following conclusions are drawn:—

1The erotic attitude of the person hypnotised towards the hypnotiser plays an important rôle in establishing the hypnosis.
2A regression of erotic instinct life takes place under hypnosis, generally to the Oedipus situation or even earlier.
3The facts in the statements of the hypnotised person confirm experimentally, for the first time, the conception of hypnosis based on psycho-analytic theory.
