ABSTRACT
Most hypnoanalytic patients are seen once a week for a 50-minute hour and can be helped in 3 to 12 months. In chapter 7 and elsewhere (Eisen & Fromm, 1983; Fromm, 1981, 1984), we have discussed examples of shortterm hypnotherapy. But some patients need more time: in particular, borderline and narcissistic patients, and those with posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD). In this chapter we present such a long-term case.
