Hypnotic imagery as a tool in working with a cerebral palsied child

Pages 78-87 | Published online: 31 Jan 2008
 

Abstract

Hypnotic imagery was used with a moderately severe athebid cerebral palsied 12-year-old boy who was mildly retarded and a poor hypnotic subject. Techniques included imagery, observation of the self, revivification of relaxing experiences, proprioceptive feedback about the athetoid movements, and dealing with feelings and motivation. Athetoid movements were reduced, results extended beyond the treatment situation, and improvement was madein practical skills.
