Why aren't memories that are elicited through hypnosis admissible as testimony in most courts?
When someone is under hypnosis, they usually try to follow commands to the letter (if they intended to before beginning the procedure). When someone is prompted to try and remember something after they have denied knowledge on the subject, they are likely to 'try' so hard that they make up details that don't exist, especially details that reinforce the subjects personal bias/viewpoints.
Is hypnosis related to psychology?
Yes. Hypnosis was broadly used by the first psychoanalysts and even today they still use, as well as psychologists from other schools (namely the cognitivists). It's a scientific way to access the mind without the repression of the superego, and it's very effective particularly treating addictions (namely cigarette addiction).
What is the effect called when you get hypnotized?
Experiences of hypnosis vary considerably, but most feel very relaxed, detached, and have little desire to move major muscle groups unless told to do so. The hypnotic state is often described along the lines of "dreamlike"; "floating", or like being slightly drunk, but without the negatives. Some experience a general "heaviness" of the body and limbs, but others feel the opposite - a real sense of "lightness".
Frequently sense of time is distorted (it may seem accelerated or delayed), and it's not uncommon for the hypnotist's voice to sound either very distant, or as if it's "right inside the head". Although most people remain fully aware in hypnosis, focus is usually very narrow, and although background sounds etc will still be heard, generally peripheral awareness is much reduced.
Twitching of small muscles is common, asis watering of the eyes, and vision may be distorted - eg a "tunnel" effect, or sometimes a general "blurring". It is not uncommon for deeply hypnotized people to experience spontaneous erection of the genitalia, which will probably be embarrassing, but is a normal physiological response to being in a REM state.
A few people become somnambulistic - they can open their eyes, stand, walk around, perform tasks etc whilst remaining in deep trance, and it is not unusual for such individuals to experience partial or total amnesia about what what exactly took place whilst hypnotized. These are, however, the minority (10% or less), and most people simply experience a hypnotic trance as an episode of profound relaxation during which they were fully aware of everything.
Generally, hypnotized people are very "literal minded", accepting ideas and suggestions at face value, and they are often quite "playful", and happy to do things without inhibition - unless, of course, what's suggested is offensive to them!
To summarize, most hypnotized people feel calm, happy, and relaxed, and for most it's a positive experience during which they're less inhibited than they might usually be.

What are the characteristics of someone who is easily hypnotizable?
Someone who wants to experience hypnosis is most likely to be hypnotized! You can not be hypnotized against your will - you have to be motivated to try it.
The most responsive people are usually of above average intelligence; have good powers of concentration, and are generally able to become deeply absorbed in tasks such as reading. Highly hypnotizable people tend to have strong imaginative and creative capabilities, and are always able and willing to follow instructions. It is also important to be able to suspend critical judgement, and do as asked without questioning or analyzing everything.
People who regularly "dissociate" (eg frequent "daydreamers"), and/ or those who regularly experience "lucid dreams" (ie dreams during which you're aware of the fact you're dreaming, and where sometimes you can even "shape" your dreams), or hypnapompic and hypnogogic episodes when falling asleep and waking are usually extremely responsive to hypnosis, as are those who had imaginary friends in chilhood.
Generally, if someone wants to be hypnotized, and is prepared uncritically to follow instructions, then they can enter hypnosis. The degree of hypnosis attained will, however, vary considerably from person to person - some are a lot better at it than others. Highly critical, "controlling" types, are not good candidates, and those low on willingness to trust are similarly inhibited.
The "Eye Roll Test" is reckoned to be a fairly reliable indicator of "hypnotizability", although some contest this. IMHO, however, anyone willing to "take the test" is already signalling a degree of interest in experiencing hypnosis liable to make them responsive, and those able to roll their eyes right up into their heads so only the whites are showing, and maintain this easily, do tend to be readily hypnotizable.

Hypnosis is a state of concentration achieved when the brain suppresses beta wave activity (normal alertness) in favor of increased theta wave activity (the dream state).
While in this state, many people find themselves becoming more suggestible, as many of the unconscious filters that monitor dislikes and inhibitions are likewise suppressed. Because of this, clinical hypnosis can be used to treat some psychological disorders such as smoking, overeating and mild depression.
Deep meditation, daydreaming, and lucid dreaming(the act of taking control of one's dreams, without waking up) are naturally-occurring examples of hypnosis.
