Hypnosis in post-abortion distress: an experimental case study

June 2, 2020 By

Abstract

The present case study of a 23‐year‐old woman begins by exploring post‐abortion distress in context with hypnosis and identifies particular themes across symptoms that indicate that hypnosis may be an appropriate adjunct to therapy for this problem. For treatment a three‐phase framework was used, as proposed by Brown (1995) for post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptom changes were monitored throughout the course of therapy in a multiple‐baseline study design. The client, S, also completed preand post‐therapy questionnaires. The therapeutic outcome is described with reference to data collected from weekly monitoring and from written feedback regarding her own feelings about the therapy. The results indicate that the therapeutic interventions improved specific symptoms as well as general mental health and it is concluded that hypnosis may be a particularly appropriate adjunct to therapy for post‐abortion distress.
