[Brief selective hypnotherapy in the treatment of flying phobia].
Flying phobias are common. Mishaps and accidents to aircraft make many travellers apprehensive and fearful of flying, a condition which most overcome by rationalisation and thought blocking, others develop a phobia for flying. This condition responds well to hypnotherapy which can be however be time consuming. Limited session brief, focused, selective hypnotherapy can however cure disabling fear, disturbed conditioned responses and avoidance behaviour.
