Among hypnotists, a script is a written monologue that contains overt or metaphorical suggestions for a hypnotist to give a hypnotized person in order to obtain desired changes in behavior, attitude, thought patterns, etc. Among beginning hypnotists, it is common to memorize or read a script. This "one script fits all who have the same problem" has limited success. Experienced hypnotists uses scripts as a guide to coming up with their own individualized suggestions.
