Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The most popular state theory, which insists that hypnosis involves an altered state of consciousness, is Ernest Hilgard’s “neodissociation” theory. According to Hilgard, the mind contains multiple parts that are not all conscious at the same time, and which are ordinarily inuenced by a centralized control structure.
