Extract

A case closely comparable with that reported below does not appear to have been described, possibly because of the ethical problems involved. Watkins (1947, 1951), in the description of two cases, has made the most nearly related contribution to the old debate as to whether an unwilling subject can be hypnotized. His cases were both trained subjects who were offered money rewards to attempt to resist the formal induction of hypnosis before an audience. They were both successfully hypnotized. The fear-inspired unwillingness of the patient to be described would appear to have been in a rather different category.
