Remission of dysphagia in a 9-year-old treated in a family practice office setting.
This case report demonstrates the effectiveness and practicality of hypnosis when used in a family practice office setting. I used my previously established rapport to induce a trance rapidly to evaluate a 9-year-old girl who came to my office with dysphagia that developed after choking on food. Her problem was resolved after three hypnotic sessions, accomplished during routine office visits.
