This paper discusses the many applications of hypnosis for use with children and adolescents.  The authors review the relationships between age, imaginative involvement, and hypnosis, then discuss general principles in the application of hypnosis with children and adolescents.  They provide a good introduction to induction techniques and the range of hypnoanalytic processes which may follow.  The paper concludes with a case history.
