The paper describes the first use of hypnotic techniques devised specifically for the deaf mentally ill patient. The procedure for hypnosis and its application to 12 congenitally deaf mentally ill patients are described, and the ramifications for further development of hypnotic techniques with the deaf are briefly discussed.
