The author briefly reviews the concepts of “pain” and the distinctions between pain and suffering. He then reviews some of the theoretical constructs that have been advanced to explain the effectiveness of hypnosis in pain control. These include psychological abstractions, psycho-social observations and generalizations, analysis of communications between patient and hypnotizer, anatomic, neuro-physiologic and bio-chemical conjectures, behavioral principles, and psycho-analytical theories, among others.
