Abstract
A case study is presented of an 11-year-old child evidencing severe, intractable psychogenic coughing. The patient was treated with hypnotherapy consisting of mental imagery, direct suggestion, and self-hypnosis. In addition, the parents were instructed to avoid reinforcing the patient's symptoms through attention. A 7-month follow-up revealed a rapid and complete elimination of the psychogenic cough and good adjustment.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
