What types of mental conditions or disorders respond best to hypnotherapy?
Every mind is unique. Everyone responds to therapeutic methodologies in their own way. Some people respond very, very profoundly. I can say this – if there were mental disorders that don’t respond well to hypnosis, the ones that come to mind most are psychosis, in particular disorders like schizophrenia or perhaps multiple personality. However, there probably is no psychological disorder that I have found in the literature through all the years of studying that won’t respond in some way. People tend to respond very, very well, for instance, to treatment for fears, phobias, anxiety, sometimes panic disorder, social phobias. But to just say this and this and this and this responds well would not be fair because everybody is different. The person that responds well to one thing might not respond well to something else.
