HYPNOSIS AND IMPLICIT MEMORY - AUTOMATIC PROCESSING OF EXPLICIT CONTENT

Kenneth S. Bowers, in whose honor this issue is written, was, in his o wn words, ''seriously curious'' (Bowers, 1983 (originally published 19 76)) about hypnosis throughout his career. He brought a lively intelle ct and an engaging and lucid writing style reminiscent of Freud's (for give me, Ken, I'm referring to style, not content), and a set of serio us questions to the phenomenon of hypnosis. We are indebted to him for his many contributions to the field.
