Hypnosis and Simple Phobia

Steve Morgan, Psychologist

This case study describes the use of hypnosis in the case of a client experiencing a specific phobia, situational type, for driving and being a passenger of a motor vehicle. While hypnosis was effective in facilitating desensitisation, client gains increased with the introduction of elements of imaginative involvement and a close examination of “driving music.”
