Clark Hull and his role in the study of hypnosis.

Clark L. Hull made many contributions to the field of hypnosis. The contributions discussed in this paper include his attempts to dispel misconceptions about hypnosis, comparisons of capacities in the hypnotic state with those in the awake state, a sampling of early findings that are still valid today, and examples of his contributions to methodology. Additionally, the roots of many modern-day models and concepts are to be found in his early works.
