Abstract
Some suggestions are accepted, some are not. An interesting chore for social scientists and, clearly, the focus of this book is to explore the processes implied in the statement above. We might explore by asking what the suggestible person is like, by asking what the successful suggestion is like, by asking what kinds of suggestions are successful, and by asking in what kinds of settings or interactions suggestions are successful.
