Resumo

This article documents the contributions and clinical relevance of influential sociocognitive models of hypnosis. We argue that an appreciation of the influence and interplay of sociocognitive constructs, combined with a knowledge of basic research findings, can contribute to sound clinical practice. This article extends previous statements of response set theory (e.g., Kirsch & Lynn. 1998, 1999; Lynn, 1998) by further elucidating the social and cognitive underpinnings of how response sets are established, maintained, and strengthened. It does so by providing a scientific rationale for Milton H. Erickson's most prominent strategic interventions.
