The Use of Hypnosis and Behavior Therapy in Asthma

Nine patients with asthma were treated with hypnosis and behavior therapy. All of these patients showed subjective improvement to a rather marked degree, except for one patient who has had three slight attacks of asthma since the onset of her treatment. These patients have been followed from eight to approximately 24 months. The results so far have been rather encouraging and the author believes that this form of treatment will prove to be of benefit in the treatment of asthma and possibly many other related conditions.
