In this study we measured a comprehensive set of symptoms before and after hypnotherapy to evaluate which symptom areas respond most and which respond least. The participants were 20 adults who sought hypnotherapy for such problems as stress, anxiety, and depression. There were two pretreatment measurements and one posttreatment measurement. Statistical analyses revealed significantly less symptomatology posttreatment in all measured dimensions. The greatest percentage decrease occurred in the anxiety dimensions; less of a decrease occurred in affective symptoms, and the least decrease appeared in ideational symptoms. The results are discussed in terms of the similarity of hypnosis to states of deep relaxation and its difference from the state of intense arousal which is a component of the "fight-flight" response. It is suggested that the symptoms most related to the "fight-flight" reaction respond most readily to hypnosis.
在本研究中，我们在催眠治疗前后测量了一系列综合症状，以评估哪些症状领域反应最大，哪些反应最小。参与者为20名因压力、焦虑和抑郁等问题寻求催眠治疗的成年人。进行了两次治疗前测量和一次治疗后测量。统计分析显示，在所有测量维度上，治疗后的症状明显减少。焦虑维度的下降百分比最大；情感症状的下降较少，观念症状的下降最少。根据催眠与深度放松状态的相似性及其与“战斗或逃跑”反应的强烈唤醒状态的差异对结果进行了讨论。有人认为，与“战斗或逃跑”反应最相关的症状对催眠反应最容易。
