title: [Hypnosis in labor].
abstract: The aetiology of labour pains remains obscure and it is not certain that improper conditioning is the cause. Fear of pain is innate, while other fears are acquired. The employment of hypnosis during labour is discussed and it is pointed out that the paucity of qualified hypnologists makes its systematic use problematical.
