Abstract

A review of the literature shows that placebo effects are not related to hypnotizability. Clinical outcome studies make it clear that results of hypnotherapy are related to hypnotizability in the treatment of anxiety, pain, and psychophysiological disorders, but not in the treatment of addiction or habit disorders. Finally a procedure is given in which hypnosis is usefully applied for its placebo value as a method to generate positive expectancies.
