Despite the popularity of the term "trance" among clinicians to describe the subjective effects associated with being hypnotized, heretofore there has been no means to operationalize that definition. The authors present a rationale and psychophenomenological method to operationalize the term "trance" in terms of (a) hypnotic depth, a quantitative measure of subjective trance assessed via a pHGS (predicted Harvard Group Scale) score, derived from regression analysis, and (b) "trance typology profiles," a qualitative differentiation of empirically derived (via cluster and discriminant analyses) categories of subjective trance experiences. The authors then discuss theoretical and clinical implications of this psychophenomenological approach for developing an operational definition of the concept of trance.
尽管“恍惚”一词在临床医生中很流行，用于描述与被催眠相关的主观效应，但迄今为止，尚无办法将该定义进行操作化。作者提出了一种基本原理和心理现象学方法，以便从以下方面对“恍惚”一词进行操作化：(a) 催眠深度，这是一种通过pHGS（预测哈佛群体量表）分数评估的主观恍惚的定量测量方法，该分数源自回归分析；(b) “恍惚类型概况”，这是对通过聚类和判别分析从经验中得出的主观恍惚体验类别进行的定性区分。作者随后讨论了这种心理现象学方法对于制定恍惚概念的操作性定义的理论和临床意义。
