  • Title: The psychodynamic treatment of combat neuroses (PTSD) with hypnosis during World War II.
    Author: Watkins JG.
    Journal: Int J Clin Exp Hypn; 2000 Jul; 48(3):324-35; discussion 336-41. PubMed ID: 10902297.
    Abstract:
    In a large Army hospital during World War II, a full-time program in hypnotherapy for battle trauma cases was developed. Symptoms included severe anxiety, phobias, conversions, hysterias, and dissociations. Many hypnoanalytic techniques were used, especially including abreactions. Good therapeutic results were frequent, as demonstrated by typical cases. There was no evidence that the abreactive procedure tended to retraumatize patients or initiate psychotic reactions.
