Abstract

The power of suggestion to change what people say and do is well known. We review some past findings and describe a new method for influencing people's recollection of the past. This method, which we call the Expert Personalized Suggestion Paradigm (EPS), relies on expertise and personalization to achieve more influence than has been shown in many previous studies of suggestibility. A short session involving this powerful form of suggestion can influence the autobiography of individuals. These findings provide a cautionary message regarding casual interpretation of client data, and may inspire the development of new techniques for changing clients in positive ways.
