“…Many published clinical reports, dating back nearly 200 years to the use of hypnosis by Dutch physicians (in Vijselaar & Van der Hart, 1992), document the potential effectiveness of hypnosis in the treatment of an assortment of posttraumatic conditions related to combat, sexual assaults, anesthesia failure, and car accidents (see Cardeña, 2000). Additionally, a randomized control study (Brom, Kleber, & Defare, 1989) indicated that "hypnotherapy," systematic desensitization, and psychodynamic psychotherapy were all more effective than a waiting-list control group at the end of treatment and at a 3-month follow-up, and hypnotherapy seemed to require fewer sessions than the other two treatments.…”

Vijselaar ve Van Der Hart, 1992içinde Charcot, 1887De Waal ve Baker, 1813;Janet, 1889). Travmatik olayın (bir yakının ölmesi, bir yakının intihar edilmesine tanık olunması vb.)…”

“…kişide yarattığı keder ve duygusal yükün ağırlığı, kişinin bu tecrübeyi hayatına katarak özümsemesine mani oluyor ve psikolojik bozukluklar göstermesine sebep oluyor, olayın net olarak hatırlanamaması ve olayın yarattığı olumsuz duygularla başa çıkılamaması sonucu ortaya çıkan sağlıksız durumların tedavi edilmesinde hipnoza başvuruluyordu. Hipnoz edilen hasta, olayı tüm ayrıntılarıyla hatırlıyor, olayın kendisinde yarattığı kederle yüzleşiyor ve tedavi sürecinde travma sonrası oluşan olumsuz duygularla başa çıkmayı öğrenerek psikolojik rahatsızlıklardan kurtuluyordu (Vijselaar ve Van Der Hart, 1992).…”
