Extract

Hypnoanalysis is becoming more and more a recognized psychotherapeutic procedure. It is an analytical type of therapy which utilizes the hypnotic state to reduce the great time and cost of formal psychoanalysis. As with any new form of treatment, there is great variation in the techniques used by different authors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). This variation ranges from such extremes as attempts to imitate formal psychoanalysis with a hypnotized patient, to mere question and answer interviews interspersed with hypnotic suggestion.
