We find this in certain cases just as strongly marked as the positive movement--bringing kind of suggestion.

The facts may be put under certain heads which follow.
_Pain Suggestion._--Of course, the fact that pain inhibits movement occurs at once to the reader.

So far as this is general, and is a native inherited thing, it is organic, and so falls under the head of Physiological Suggestion of a negative sort.

The child shows contracting movements, crying movements, starting and jumping movements, shortly after birth, and so plainly that we need not hesitate to say that these pain responses belong purely to his nervous system; and that, in general, they are inhibitory and contrary to those other native reactions which indicate pleasure.
The influence of pain extends everywhere through mental development, however.

Its general effect is to dampen down or suppress the function which brings the pain; and in this its action is just the contrary to that of pleasure, which furthers the pleasurable function.
_Control Suggestion._--This covers all cases which show any kind of restraint set upon the movements of the body short of that which comes from voluntary intention.
