Implications of Barber�s Three Dimensional Theory of Hypnosis
Marty Sapp Ed.D
Recently, Barber has presented a three dimensional paradigm of hypnosis. He proposed
that there are three hypnotic types of clients- the fantasy-prone, amnesic-prone, and
positively-set. This paper discusses the major theoretical implications of this new
paradigm, and, if Barber is correct, his new theory should bridge a gap between the
special process (state) and nonstate theorists. Finally, only research will determine if
Barber�s new theory will actually unify the previous disagreements between the state
and nonstate theorists. (Sleep and Hypnosis 2002;4(2):70-76)
