ABSTRACT
Milton H. Erickson’s procedure in the treatment of clients with examination panic is outlined. A useful diagnostic framework is given and Exaggerated Information Gathering and How-to-Fail Questions are explained as two important diagnostic techniques. Their immediate therapeutic impact is described by case vignettes. Case examples of Ericksonian hypnotherapy with clients with examination panic illustrate the use of time distortion, time progression, relaxation, automatic writing and the utilization of symptom phenomena as trance phenomena.
