Abstract

In the medical literature, the question of the significance of suggestion and persuasion in the matter of influencing one or another person was very often raised. According to the author, there is a very big difference between suggestion and persuasion. Suggestion is made in the unconscious state of the suggested person, without understanding by these persons how this or that thought appeared in him. Persuasion is carried out in a conscious state, with the participation of personal elements and the reasonableness of a given person, while the process of reasoning and decision-making is carried out quite consciously.
