Subject: SI and H Experimentation, 24 October 1951

On Wednesday, 2l October 1951.SL and H experiments.Were carried on in Puilding 13, Room 20, with and ras subjects.

In view of the fact that some success was indicated inthe very slow experimentation of the previous week with . it yasdecided to continue this work with both and susing the standard slow induction method and not attempt any unusual and complex experiments. Accordingly, three slow inductions were run with all members participating.

For a matter of record, it should be noted thatr continued to reach a medium ST-state and respond fairly well to simpleposthypnoticsbut Was capable of a light SI at best and and the writer again felt that she showed evidence of""playacting".

COMMENT:

It appears obvious thac is not a good SI .subject and that in every case she has atendency to prevent frondoing better work. This fact has heen commented on bia and the writer previously, but for the present it appears that nothing can he done about it. The writer is of the opinion that new and unusual techniques should be tried im s case preferably with her alone as the subjeçt with very rigid tests for depth and possibly a "sleep period" to set a better mood for the work.

No other work was conducted this evening in view of the more .or lesstime-consuming inductions mentioned above.
