“…This spans the range from normal experiences, such as daydreaming and transient lapses of attention, to pathological failure to integrate thoughts, feelings, memories, and actions into a coherent and unified sense of consciousness, as in dissociative identity disorder. Findings reported by B. Sanders Downloaded by [Florida State University] at 02:47 21 October 2014 and Green (1994) and Ray and Faith (1995) supported this notion. Others provide evidence that contradicts the continuum model, while supporting the existence of distinct dissociative types (Putnam et al, 1996).…”

The literature suggests that aspects of hypnotizability may be involved in the etiology and maintenance of self-defeating eating. However, interpretation of the published research findings has been complicated by the use of instruments that appear to have measured different or, at best, only related facets of the underlying constructs. This article reports relationships between weight, shape, dietary concerns, hypnotizability, dissociative capacity, and fantasy proneness. Implications for a key role for hypnosis in the treatment of eating behaviors, attitudes, and concerns are discussed.

“…Humans daydream frequently (Gold, Gold, & Milner, 1987;Ray & Faith, 1995). Given the astronomical amount of sensory information, attention is believed to be ''the result of a limited information processing capacity'' (Broadbent, 1958, p. 68).…”

It is the central hypothesis of this paper that the mental states commonly referred to as altered states of consciousness are principally due to transient prefrontal cortex deregulation. Supportive evidence from psychological and neuroscientific studies of dreaming, endurance running, meditation, daydreaming, hypnosis, and various druginduced states is presented and integrated. It is proposed that transient hypofrontality is the unifying feature of all altered states and that the phenomenological uniqueness of each state is the result of the differential viability of various frontal circuits. Using an evolutionary approach, consciousness is conceptualized as hierarchically ordered cognitive function. Higher-order structures perform increasingly integrative functions and thus contribute more sophisticated content. Although this implies a holistic approach to consciousness, such a functional hierarchy localizes the most sophisticated layers of consciousness in the zenithal higher-order structure: the prefrontal cortex. The hallmark of altered states of consciousness is the subtle modification of behavioral and cognitive functions that are typically ascribed to the prefrontal cortex. The theoretical framework presented yields a number of testable hypotheses.

“…This experience of trauma has potentially pernicious, acute, and long-term psychological effects (Gershuny & Thayer, 1999). Although dissociative experiences are also not uncommon in members of the general population, this is particularly the case in members of the population that have experienced trauma (Kihlstrom, Glisky, & Angiulo, 1994;Ray & Faith, 1995, Ross, Joshi, & Currie, 1991. Although there are established links between direct personal traumatic experiences and dissociation (Spiegel & Cardena, 1991), it has also been suggested that indirect experiences (e.g., witnessing violence rather than being a victim of it) are similarly responsible for dissociative experiences (Singer, Anglin, Song, & Lunghofer, 1995).…”
