Disparate opinions about the importance of the assessment of hypnotizability reflect very different ideas about what hypnosis is, the relevance of hypnotizability to psychotherapy and treatment outcome, and the importance of gathering scientific data to document treatment effectiveness and the presence of hypnotic effects. In this article, we argue that in recent years important developments have occurred in the conceptualization, assessment, and technical aspects of hypnotic intervention that imply that clinicians who eschew the use of hypnotizability assessment ought to reconsider their position. In making this argument, we will discuss reasons for assessing hypnotizability, the relation between hypnotizability and treatment outcome, and practical considerations in the assessment of hypnotizability.
关于催眠易感性评估重要性的不同观点，反映了对于催眠是什么、催眠易感性与心理治疗及治疗效果的相关性，以及收集科学数据以证明治疗有效性和催眠效果存在的重要性等方面截然不同的看法。在本文中，我们认为近年来催眠干预在概念化、评估和技术方面都有了重要进展，这意味着那些回避使用催眠易感性评估的临床医生应该重新考虑他们的立场。在阐述这一观点时，我们将讨论评估催眠易感性的原因、催眠易感性与治疗效果的关系，以及催眠易感性评估中的实际考量。
