Question

_____ is defined as a state of mind that occurs in compliance with instructions and is character­ized by focused attention, suggestibility, absorption, lack of voluntary control over behavior, and suspension of critical faculties of mind.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypnosis

Explanation:

According to the American Psychological Association (APA) hypnosis is a  cooperative interaction in which the participant responds to the suggestions of the hypnotist.

Usually, when people think of hypnosis they think of a trance state, where the individual is asleep and in trance, however, this is not true.

Hypnosis is actually a state characterized by focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and vivid fantasies. (that follows the hypnotist suggestions and instructions). It also includes the lack of voluntary control over one's own behavior.

Hypnosis is mainly used for pain treatment for many illnesses.

Thus, we can conclude that hypnosis is a state of mind that occurs in compliance with instructions and is characterized by focused attention, suggestibility, absorption, lack of voluntary control over behavior and suspension of critical faculties of mind.
