Authoritarian Hypnosis
An approach to hypnosis that emphasizes mind control methods, i.e. where the hypnotist is viewed as having special mental powers with which he is able to cause the subject (the person being hypnotized) into becoming vulnerable to the suggestions of the hypnotist. A well-known example of authoritarian hypnosis is stage hypnosis. Mind control methods do not take into account the free will of the subject. They are very seldom used in clinical settings.
