title: The use of midazolam for hypnosedative interviews.
abstract: The authors describe three cases in which midazolam was successfully used in diagnostic hypnosedative interviews. A discussion comparing and contrasting midazolam to other intravenous hypnosedatives is presented. The authors suggest that midazolam is an effective agent for diagnostic hypnosedative interviews and may be preferable to other agents when posthypnotic recollection of interview content is undesirable.
