The use of hypnosis in the treatment of exhibitionism is described in three patients in whom the condition had been present for more than five years. In each patient there was no subsequent recurrence of the exhibitionism once therapeutic suggestions had been made in a deep hypnotic trance, the follow-up period being respectively five years, four and a half years, and one year.The method of treatment and the results are discussed in terms of the concepts of behaviour therapy.It is concluded that with certain patients suffering from exhibitionism the use of hypnosis may well be one of the best methods of treatment, but considerable care should be exercised to exclude those patients with an underlying psychosis, mental defect or psychopathic condition. It is also noted that the efficacy of the treatment would appear to depend on achieving a satisfactory depth of hypnotic trance. If this is not reached, the results are less likely to be successful.
本文描述了对三名露阴癖患者使用催眠疗法进行治疗的情况，这三名患者的病情均已持续超过五年。在深度催眠状态下给出治疗建议后，每位患者的露阴癖均未再次复发，随访期分别为五年、四年半和一年。本文根据行为疗法的概念对治疗方法和结果进行了讨论。得出的结论是，对于某些患有露阴癖的患者，使用催眠很可能是最佳治疗方法之一，但应格外小心地排除那些患有潜在精神病、智力缺陷或精神变态状况的患者。还指出，治疗效果似乎取决于达到令人满意的催眠深度。如果未达到这一深度，治疗结果成功的可能性就较小。
