How Do You Detect Artificial Somnambulism?

[Conca]

I'm wondering how you know when a subject is in artificial somnambulism.

I'm reading Elman's book "Hypnotherapy" and it's really good but I don't know how to spot the difference between true somnambulism and artificial somnambulism.

Any help is most appreciated.

Read Merlin's FAQ. Most of the info you seek is in there. ;)

that book is from Mr. Elman's teaching notes of the '30s
very outdated.
