Self-hypnosis was taught to 5 highly hypnotisable patients referred to Auckland Hospital Pain Clinic. Evaluation included the Illness Self-Concept Repertory Grid (ISCRG) and follow-up was at 1 and 6 months post treatment. Consensus grids indicated the subjects initially identified with physical illness but this association decreased over the course of the study. There appeared, therefore, to be a shift in self-concept away from physical illness, in association with the learning and practice of self-hypnosis. This change was especially evident in the grids of those subjects who experienced the most pain relief. An association between pain reduction and self-concepts is thus noted. This study does not identify whether self-concepts merely reflect therapeutic change or whether strong self-identification with physical illness indicates a poor prognosis for pain relief. This is a question which deserves further study.
自我催眠被传授给了转诊至奥克兰医院疼痛诊所的5位高度可催眠的患者。评估包括疾病自我概念 repertory 网格（ISCRG），并且在治疗后1个月和6个月进行随访。共识网格表明，受试者最初认同身体疾病，但在研究过程中这种关联有所下降。因此，与自我催眠的学习和实践相关，自我概念似乎从身体疾病上发生了转变。这种变化在那些疼痛缓解最明显的受试者的网格中尤为明显。因此可以注意到疼痛减轻与自我概念之间的关联。本研究并未确定自我概念仅仅是反映了治疗变化，还是与身体疾病的强烈自我认同表明疼痛缓解的预后不佳。这是一个值得进一步研究的问题。
