Abstract
A recent exposition of the response set theory of hypnosis (Kirsch, 2000) c ontained incorrect and misleading figures. The correct figures illustrated a complementary relation between mental and physiological phenomena. The fi gures as published erroneously suggested that the author espoused epiphenom enalism. As shown in this corrected version, Kirsch proposes that mind stat es and body states be considered as two ways of viewing a single psychophys iological phenomenon.
