Hypnotherapy is a method of treatment for resistant obesity. This study was undertaken to ascertain the efficacy and/or risks it holds for adolescents. All tended to see hypnosis as a quick solution to longstanding problems. Other forms of weight control therapy had been unsuccessful. Untoward reactions occurred in many teenagers. These included: dissociated state, depersonalization, anxiety and fears. Patients who were not in a deep state of hypnosis were disappointed and viewed this as another failure experience. The severe side effects were observed in those patients in the earlier developmental phases of adolescence.
催眠疗法是一种治疗顽固性肥胖的方法。本研究旨在确定其对青少年的疗效和/或风险。所有人都倾向于将催眠视为解决长期问题的快速方法。其他形式的体重控制疗法均未成功。许多青少年出现了不良反应。这些不良反应包括：分离状态、人格解体、焦虑和恐惧。未处于深度催眠状态的患者感到失望，并将此视为又一次失败经历。在青春期早期发育阶段的患者中观察到了严重的副作用。
