The textbook authors argue that because of its relative safety and low cost, hypnosis might become a preferred method for treating
A) pain.
B) obesity.
C) repressed memories.
D) menopause.
Answer: A

If hypnosis researchers can demonstrate its effectiveness, it may be a preferred method of pain control given the potentials for side effects and dependence with drugs, not to mention that hypnosis treatments for medical procedures cost about half as much as drugs.
