title: Hypnotherapy for the child with chronic eczema. A case report.
abstract: Chronic eczema in a child usually produces much discomfort and distress. Associated behaviour problems further complicate the issue. A comprehensive approach to treatment is therefore essential. Hypnotherapy may be a useful adjunct in the overall management. An illustrative case history is presented. Combining hypnotherapy with child guidance and medical treatment led to the relief of symptoms and improved behavioural pattern in a boy aged 10 years.
