===Experimental vs. clinical=== The applications of hypnosis vary widely and investigation of responses to suggestion can be usefully separated into two non-exclusive broad divisions: * '''Experimental hypnosis''': the study of "'''experimental suggestion'''", of the form: ::"What is it that my group of test subjects actually do when I deliver the precise standard suggestion ABC to each of them in the same experimental context?" :: (i.e., given a fixed suggestion, what is the outcome?) * '''Clinical hypnosis''': the study of '''clinical suggestion''' directed at the question: ::"What is it that I can possibly say to this particular subject, in this specific context, to generate my goal of having them do XYZ?" (I.e., given a fixed outcome, what is the suggestion?)
