Abstract

Consideration of possession states and ‘trance state’ may be divided into two aspects: (i) the individual's acceptance that they have been possessed, and (ii) an altered state of consciousness. Possession states can themselves be distinguished as those which are involuntary and those where possession is actively sought. The personal psychophysiological mechanism is both possession and trance states is dissociation. Three case illustrations are provided.
