Popis: This paper outlines a specialised use of hypnosis as a complement to counselling or interpretive psychotherapy in suitable cases. The techniques capitalise on the ease of manipulating emotions and on the vividness of fantasy experience in hypnosis, to allow patients to learn more adaptive patterns of affective response and to rehearse more adequate repertoires of social behaviour. Implications of the authors' work with a sample of 37 non-psychotic patients is discussed.
