Pierre Janet, a French physician and psychologist in the 19th century had a theory of dissociation, which is the condition where parts of consciousness are separated. By Dr. Janet's experiments and observations of hysterical patients were pacified through dissociation, which is practical hypnosis.

In 1977 developed American psychologist Ernest Hilgard a neo dissociation theory, which was a spin-off to Dr Janet's dissociation concept. According to Dr. Hilgard, there are parts of one's personality there is no longer separated from other sub-components through an amnesic blockage. Therefore, orders and commands from a hypnotist to change one's perceptions and ultimately behavior.
