Recent reports suggest that hypnosis may be a useful technique for the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Five distinct strategies for the utilization of hypnosis in sex therapy can be identified: (1) as a diagnostic tool, (2) to improve self-confidence, (3) as an adjunct to behavior therapy, (4) for the direct removal of symptoms, and (5) to facilitate the resolution of neurotic conflicts. Case reports documenting these applications of hypnotic procedures typically fail to include significant information regarding patient variables, symptomatology, the nature of the therapeutic intervention, and criteria for improvement. Although the conclusions provided by these case studies are encouraging, it is essential that the efficacy of hypnotic techniques in sex therapy be evaluated by controlled studies.
近期报告表明，催眠可能是治疗性功能障碍的一种有用技术。可以确定在性治疗中使用催眠的五种不同策略：（1）作为诊断工具，（2）提高自信心，（3）作为行为疗法的辅助手段，（4）直接消除症状，以及（5）促进神经症冲突的解决。记录这些催眠程序应用的病例报告通常未包含有关患者变量、症状学、治疗干预性质和改善标准的重要信息。尽管这些案例研究得出的结论令人鼓舞，但必须通过对照研究来评估催眠技术在性治疗中的疗效。
