ABSTRACT
A patient with skin rash and temperomandibular joint (TMJ) difculties presents for help in employing MindBody interventions. To help her best, we must answer three questions:
1. Do we focus rst on the presenting problem, applying MindBody techniques directly to the problem (e.g., hypnosis with imagery)? Note that in this text we refer to this approach of directly focusing on the presenting problem as the direct approach.
