Abstract
Hypnosis applies and strengthens a child's naturally enhanced ability to focus his or her concentration and imagination to change symptoms, physiology, and behavior. This field of naturalistic psychology is supported both experimentally and clinically. It can be incorporated into all clinical encounters, increasing therapeutic rapport, the young person's self-esteem, and efficiency. It is most effective when introduced before fearful responses become conditioned, and it can reduce the amount of medication required for relief of symptoms. This capacity can grow with the child, allowing him or her to approach future challenges with equanimity.
