The present study investigated the hypothesis that a confusion technique would produce greater hypnotic responsiveness for subjects who responded minimally to a standard hypnotic induction. Ten subjects who scored in the low range of hypnotic susceptibility on the HGSHS:A (scores of 0-4) participated in a confusion induction session. Hypnotic responsiveness was measured by several scales: the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility (HGSHS:A), a Depth Estimate (DE), and the Inventory Scale of Hypnotic Depth (ISHD). Qualitative data was collected via a follow-up interview. Collectively, the results did not support the hypothesis that a confusion technique is more effective than a standard induction for low-susceptible subjects. Implications for future research will be discussed.
