Abstract

Treatment of several patients in analysis seemed obstructed by a single persisting symptom; in each case a consultant psychiatrist removed the symptom through hypnosis and the patients were returned to their referring psychotherapist. The authors note that not only were there no unfortunate sequelae but that a "ripple effect" occurred that resulted in genuine emotional growth by the patients.
