Hypnosis in the Treatment of the "Hexed" Patient
Abstract
As psychiatric services are expanded to reach a broader population, the clinic psychiatrist in the South is increasingly likely to encounter the patient who attributes his psychiatric symptomatology to the working of a hex. The author suggests that an understanding of this cultural phenomenon is highly important to the creation of a good therapeutic relationship and offers the technique of hypnosis as an effective method of therapy for the "hexed" patient.
