Hypnosis and Transactional Analysis Theory

Abstract

The intention of this paper is to point out that hypnosis and Transactional Analysis can be integrated into one overall therapeutic endeavor. Through hypnosis the patient can be in touch with his Child ego state as T. A. sees it. He may then re-experience critical moments in his life that affected his present behavior. Re-experiencing these events gives the patient power over his situation and opens the possibility for him to make a re-decision in his Adult, and by this to change an unsatisfactory course of behavior.
