Abstract
Hypnotherapy was successfully used over a period of five weekly sessions to treat hysterical dysphonia in a 10-year-od female. The therapeutic methodology included direct and indirect suggestions, both of which were formulated and derived from a number of psychosoical factors which were hypothesized to be maintaining the hysterical symptom of dysphonia. Principal factors hypothesized to have been perpetuating the conversion symptom are discussed. At nine-months followup the client is still phonating clearly.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
