Hypnosis is founded on a legacy of debate and zero-sum thinking as competing schools have argued for the value of one theoretical explanation at the expense of another. More recently, the discussion has turned to pluralistic modeling, with many researchers accepting four central constructs: imagination, suggestion, expectation, and trance experience. The aim of this paper is to introduce a fifth domain, instinct. Discoveries in comparative psychology, such as autoshaping and instinctual drift are used to highlight the importance of using suggestions that incorporate or are in service of phylogenetically programmed behavior. While it is not uncommon for hypnotic operators to intentionally trigger a single reflex for induction purposes, this paper shows the value of strategically incorporating constellations of reflexive behaviors and emotions that can be identified in terms of universal instincts found in humans and non-human animals; such as attachment, dominance-submission, catatonic immobility, competition, ownership, reciprocity, maternal instincts, and fraternal protectiveness. Highly complex interpersonal dynamics, which can occur during hypnosis, are simplified using the phylogenetic construct, as illustrated in clinical vignettes.

催眠是建立在辩论和零和思想的基础上的，因为竞争学校争辩说一种理论解释的价值会损害另一种理论解释的价值。最近，讨论转向了多元建模，许多研究人员接受了四个中心结构：想象力，建议，期望和tr经验。本文的目的是介绍本能。比较心理学中的发现，例如自动整形和本能漂移，被用来强调使用结合或服务于系统发育程序行为的建议的重要性。虽然催眠操作者出于感应目的故意触发单个反射的情况并不少见，本文展示了战略性地整合反身行为和情感的价值，这些价值可以从人类和非人类动物的普遍本能中识别出来。例如依恋，主导地位的奉献，紧张的不动，竞争，所有权，互惠，母性和兄弟保护。使用系统进化的结构，可以简化催眠过程中可能发生的高度复杂的人际动态，如临床插图所示。
