The author contends that some contemporary hypnosis theories are restricted and narrow in scope, rendering them unnecessarily isolated from mainstream models of human development, psychopathology, and personality functioning. They seem to explain hypnosis and little else. The author contrasts this with psychoanalysis, which, although sometimes overly expansive, does nonetheless lend itself to the generation of specific hypothesis via careful deduction from a general theory of human behavior and experience. For illustrative purposes, the author criticizes the sociocognitive perspective of hypnosis contending that at present it is too narrowly inductive in focus, overvalues social influence, and has its own problems with reification. The author suggests remedies for these difficulties.
作者认为，一些当代催眠理论的范围有限且狭隘，致使它们与人类发展、精神病理学和人格功能的主流模型不必要地脱节。它们似乎只能解释催眠现象，别无其他。作者将此与精神分析进行对比，精神分析虽然有时过于宽泛，但确实能够通过从人类行为和经验的一般理论中进行仔细推导，得出具体的假设。为了说明这一点，作者批评了催眠的社会认知观点，认为目前该观点在焦点上过于狭隘地归纳，过度重视社会影响，并且自身也存在实体化的问题。作者针对这些难题提出了补救措施。
