Editing Suggestibility (section)

===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?)
