Hypnotherapy for agoraphobia: a case study.

Abstract
In this case study, hypnosis combined with progressive relaxation effectively eliminated the cause of panic attacks in a 34 year old female. After an initial period of progressive relaxation, this patient was trained in desensitization techniques and in hypnosis. The introduction of hypnosis provided this young woman with long term relief from her symptoms of agoraphobia and panic. This study provides further evidence for the efficacy of hypnosis in the elimination of panic attacks.
