Abstract
A 26-year-old woman with an 18-year history of severe trichotillomania eliminated the self-destructive urge to pull out the hair on her scalp by the adjunctive use of hypnosis during psychotherapy. Hypnotherapeutic suggestions enhancing control of the “irresistible urge” to pull out her hair are detailed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
