Between Phobic Symptoms and Hypnotic Responsiveness: Its
Generalization to Agoraphobia. Master of Science (Clinical
Psychology), May, 1987, 80 pp., 12 tables, references, 48
titles.
The present study was designed to test Frankel and
Orne's hypothesis that persons with a clinically significant
phobia also show high susceptibility to hypnosis. The
hypnotic susceptibility scores of 10 persons who sought
treatment with hypnosis for agoraphobia were compared with
the susceptibility scores of a control group of 20 persons
having comparable motivation to succeed in hypnosis. The
susceptibility measure was the Stanford Hypnotic
Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSS:C, Weitzenhoffer &
Hilgard, 1962). The groups were also compared on: a) the
Archaic Involvement Measure (AIM; Nash, 1984); b) the Field
Depth Inventory (FDI; Field, 1965); and c) the Tellegen
groups on the dependent measures. Factors which qualify the
results are discussed.

FRANKEL'S HYPOTHESIS OF A RELATION BETWEEN PHOBIC
SYMPTOMS AND HYPNOTIC RESPONSIVENESS: ITS
GENERALIZATION TO AGORAPHOBIA
Since the 1960's reliable standardized scales have been
available to measure the behavior and experience considered
typical of hypnotized subjects. Using these scales,
researchers have established that hypnotic susceptibility is
normally distributed in the general population (Hilgard,
1965). Hypnotic susceptibility has also proved consistent
enough to be considered a stable trait (Morgan, Johnson, &
Hilgard, 1974). It is remarkable, therefore, that hypnotic
susceptibility has not been found to be associated with any
particular personality style as measured by such tests as the
Rorschach and the MMPI (Shor, Orne, & O'Connell, 1966). In
view of the failure to find personality correlates to
hypnotic susceptibility, it is surprising that Frankel and
Orne (1976) found a relationship between phobia and hypnotic
susceptibility. The impetus for their study and their
results and conclusions are described below.
Frankel (1976) noted similarities in patients' reports
of the subjective experience of phobia and that of hypnosis.
These similarities include subjective experiences in which
(a) attention narrows to particular thoughts or sensations,
and a larger orientation or awareness of the world (the
