Abstract
Six cases of posthypnotic trauma are presented to illustrate possible psychopathologic symptoms that may be exhibited in subjects following the misuse of hypnosis, particularly for a stage performance. Medical professionals must be made aware of the possibility of immediate as well as long-term deleterious effects that may follow misuse of hypnosis so that those cases which come to the attention of the physician will be properly diagnosed and treated.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
