The role of hypnosis as a tool in the treatment of problems commonly encountered among medical and surgical patients is examined. Hypnosis is defined as a change in state of mind far more akin to intense concentration than sleep. Diagnostic implications of differences in hypnotic responsivity are explored, and scales suitable for use in the clinic are examined. Uses of hypnosis in treating anxiety, pain, childbirth, psychosomatic symptoms, seizure disorders, neuromuscular dysfunction, and habits are described and evaluated. The phenomenon of hypnosis is presented as a means of exploring the mind-body relationship in a controlled fashion, providing information of diagnostic importance while at the same time allowing hypnotizable patients to intensify their concentration and interpersonal receptivity in the service of a therapeutic goal.
本文探讨了催眠作为一种工具在治疗内科和外科患者常见问题中的作用。催眠被定义为一种心理状态的改变，这种改变更类似于高度专注而非睡眠。文中探讨了催眠反应性差异的诊断意义，并审视了适用于临床的量表。还描述并评估了催眠在治疗焦虑、疼痛、分娩、心身症状、癫痫症、神经肌肉功能障碍和习惯方面的应用。催眠现象被视为一种以可控方式探索身心关系的手段，它既能提供具有诊断重要性的信息，同时又能让可被催眠的患者为实现治疗目标而增强其专注力和人际接受能力。
