| Popis: | Victims of accidents or other trauma often experience acute symptoms of confusion, disorganization, and intrusive memories. Victims can be extremely suggestible during their initial adjustment, and they readily comply with suggestions to enter hypnosis. Reframing and other hypnotic interventions can be useful in managing acute symptoms and may facilitate long-term adjustment. A case is presented in which hypnosis was successfully used with a man who was acutely distressed after accidentally killing a pedestrian. Whether the heightened suggestibility experienced during acute posttraumatic adjustment entails an increase in hypnotizability is an interesting topic for future research, and one which has theoretical import. |
