Hypnosis for Fear of Flying
Elliott Schreiber, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, Rowan University
This case study reports the use of hypnosis with three clients who manifest a strong fear of flying. The clients’ personality traits with regard to commercial flying were studied for two years prior to the use of hypnosis and for two years after its use. An analysis of their flight experiences showed strong improvement in the clients’ attitudes toward flying and behaviours when flying after the use of hypnosis. Recommendations are made for further research.
