prospectively index the hypnotizability of PTSD populations without
the potential confound of intervening therapy. Despite this limitation,
these pilot data point to potential mechanisms that may mediate the
association between PTSD and hypnotizability. Prospective studies
will provide an opportunity to index the social, cognitive, and clinical
factors underpinning elevated hypnotizability in clinical disorders.
