The methods of hypnotherapy are reviewed and their individual applicability in the treatment of neurotic and psychosomatic syndromes examined according to the criteria of the two most recognised schools of modern psychology; psychoanalysis and behaviourism. The agreements and divergences of these two theoretical approaches are described and other contemporary theories are examined, before their general inadequacy is pointed out. A combination of western psychotherapeutic techniques and oriental meditation methods is therefore suggested, justifying this on both psychological and neurophysiological grounds. A simultaneously rational and intuitive basis for hypnotherapy would appear to offer the hypnologist a more subtle technique and would also make it easier for him to acquire that "therapeutic mentality" indispensable for successful treatment.
本文回顾了催眠疗法的方法，并根据现代心理学最具认可度的两大流派——精神分析学派和行为主义学派的标准，考察了其在治疗神经症和身心综合征方面的适用性。在指出这两种理论方法的总体不足之处之前，先描述了它们的异同，并审视了其他当代理论。因此，建议将西方心理治疗技术与东方冥想方法相结合，并从心理学和神经生理学两方面进行论证。催眠疗法同时具备理性和直观的基础，这似乎能为催眠治疗师提供一种更精妙的技术，也能让他们更容易获得成功治疗所必需的“治疗心态”。
