Age regression--reliving the past as though it were occurring in the present, with age appropriate vocabulary, mental content, and affect--can occur with instruction in highly hypnotizable individuals, but has rarely been reported to occur spontaneously, especially as a primary symptom. The psychiatric presentation and treatment of a 16-year-old girl with spontaneous age regressions accessible and controllable with hypnosis and psychotherapy are described. Areas of overlap and divergence between this patient's symptoms and those found in patients with hysterical fugue and multiple personality syndrome are also discussed.
年龄退行——以适合相应年龄的词汇、心理内容和情感，仿佛过去正在当下重演——在高度易被催眠的个体接受引导时可能会出现，但鲜有报告称其会自发出现，尤其是作为主要症状。本文描述了一名16岁女孩的精神症状表现及治疗情况，她会自发出现年龄退行，可通过催眠和心理治疗来控制。文中还讨论了该患者的症状与癔症性神游症和多重人格综合征患者症状之间的异同。
