Abstract
The attitude and position of a gynecologist employing hypnotherapy in clinical practice is emphasized. Particular consideration is given to dysmenorrhea (25 cases), dyspareunia (30 cases), vaginismus (15 cases), frigidity (12 cases), and anxiety states encountered in gynecological practice (26 cases). An indication is given of the general method and of the specific pattern of treatment, which initially is directed to symptom removal by direct suggestion. When this method proves ineffective, special techniques are employed to carry out therapy at a deeper level. Details of clinical data of all cases are presented together with evaluation of the percentage of success achieved. Results have proved encouraging. Several illustrative cases are described.
