Hypnotic, therapeuticuse of hypnosis

The therapeutics of suggestion are based on the fact that a number of diseases can be relieved or cured merely by making the patient believe he will get better, and strongly impressing this belief in his mind. Every capable physician uses this technique to some extent even though he may do so unconsciously. The patient's faith in the doctor and his belief in the efficacy of whatever treatment may be given, is an important factor in all therapy. This use of suggestive therapy is as old as the practice of medicine itself. What hypnotism does is to multiply many times over the force of the suggestion through the greater susceptibility of the patient under hypnosis.

If suggestion is to be successful, the patient must believe he will get well! It is not always possible for the physician to implant this faith and expectancy in the patient's mind. Hypnotism is a means to this end. With the conscious mind in abeyance, the subconscious readily accepts the healing suggestions. No patient under complete hypnosis can resist the influence of the suggestions given by the operator.

In 1880 Berger conducted a series of notable experiments proving the effectiveness of hypnotic suggestion as a therapeutic agent. He reported that a hemiplegic patient easily made movements under hypnosis he was unable to make when awake. He saw locomotor ataxia cases cease to stagger under hypnosis. Other physicians experimenting with hypnosis in this period, reported induction and removal, through hypnosis, of fractures and paralysis. But to Liébault must go the credit of first reducing hypnotic therapy to scientific treatment. His work was carried on and extended by Bernheim, Forel and others who followed.

Thus far, functional neurosis is the chief field for hypnotherapy, i.e. nervous disorders with no organic lesion or derangement. But out of the very considerable literature available, we will indicate some of the other disorders which have yielded to this treatment.

Hypnosis has been employed to cure all types of pains having no anatomical basis, such as: chronic headaches, abdominal pain, ovarian, neuralgic and rheumatic pains, hysterical disturbances with resulting paralysis of the extremities, hysterical vomiting, polyuria, menstrual pains, loss of appetite, nausea in pregnancy, alcoholism, etc.

Brugelmann reports its successful use in cases of nervous asthma: Forel, Bernard and Schmidt in chronic constipation; Mollerup and Clutnoff in nervous ocular disturbances; Krafft-Ebing, Ladame and others in non-congenital sexual perversions; Heim and others in the prevention of sea-sickness; Barband in cases of vaginism. Successful treatment of chronic alcoholism has been reported by Forel, Wetterstrand, Carval and many others.

Hypnotic drinking

The same general method can be used to break a patient of the habit of excessive drinking. The same two steps are involved in the treatment. First the negative phase: tell him that liquor will taste bad—it will turn his stomach—he will have a feeling of nausea, and will put the glass down without wanting to finish it. Then proceed to the second step and give suggestions similar to those indicated in the treatment of excessive smoking.

You must, in all cases, build up a positive expectation in the patient's mind that he is going to be helped; that the treatments will be successful; that the habit will be completely broken. Physicians, of course, know that there are two schools of thought about drinking,
one of which believes that best results can be secured through progressive reduction. They seek to get the patient to drink less and less each day or week. If he has been in the habit of taking ten
drinks a day on the average, he will decrease this first to eight; later to six; then to four; and so on. The main objection to this is that, though it appears promising, it seldom works. The patient starts out co-operatively for a time, then breaks down and abandons all restraint.

Most authorities now urge that immediate and com¬plete abstinence, with no exception and no compromise, is essential. You may wish to experiment with both of these methods on different patients, and determine for yourself which is for you and your patients the most effective. It is a question which depends largely upon the individual patient. Some patients may stop immedi¬ately and completely, leaving your future task merely to deepen and strengthen the resolve not to drink. With others, it would be impossible for them to stop at once without serious physical consequences, and the only alternative to admission of failure will be the use of the method of progressive reduction. The decision in each case is a matter for the judgment of the practitioner as to the best procedure.

In the suggestions which follow, I have followed the basic procedure of psychiatry in suggesting that the causes of the neurotic symptoms be located where-ever possible. This is in line with accepted medical standards. Through hypnosis, these causes can much more readily be brought out than through the long and tedious operation of "free association". . Facts which might require weeks or months through psychoanalytical technique are instantly revealed through hypnotic regression.

Personally I am not convinced, however, that such an investigation is always necessary. When the surgeon is called upon to operate in a case of a badly inflamed appendix, he does not pause to consider how the appendix got that way: he takes it out!

Hypnotic anasthesia

Some practitioners report that, even in the light stages of hypnosis, pains of headache, neuritis, etc., have been relieved. After the subject has been placed under hypnosis, gently stroke the affected part and say, "The pain is passing—it is going—now you have no pain—when you wake you will be conscious of no pain—the pain is now completely gone—now, when I count three, wake up—and remember—there will be no pain—one—two—three—wake up—now you feel better."

In the deeper stages of hypnosis an advanced condition of analgesia can be induced. You may have seen one of my public demonstrations in which needles are pressed into the outstretched palm of a hypnotised subject with complete absence of pain. Hypnotism as an anaesthetic in surgery has been employed successfully by many physicians in France, Germany, Russia and U.S.A., in cases of childbirth among others. In India, Dr. Esdaile performed several hundred operations with hypnosis as the only anaesthetic. Doubtless, hypnosis would to-day be very widely used in anaesthesia were it not for the development and use of more easily administered and highly effective modern methods of anaesthesia. Because of these developments, it is doubtful if hypnotism will find any wide use in surgery; it is too much like taking a shotgun to kill a fly. It can only be used in deep hypnosis after the patient has been hypnotised a number of times, and tested with needle insertions to ensure the degree of analgesia which has been induced. Its chief application as an anaesthetic is in minor surgery and with patients who fear, or for any reason cannot take, the usual anaesthetics.

Many anaesthetists in the U.S.A., however, are trained to offer simple hypnotic suggestions with the anaesthetic, in such words as "You're going to be all right—you're going to be well", which is particularly valuable for inducing a state of well-being in the patient on waking after the operation. Just at the very moment the patient goes under is the most valuable time to reach his subconscious mind.
