Abstract

This case report illustrates the use of hypnotic interventions in support of a brief course of panic control therapy (PCT) within a cognitive-behavioural framework for an adult male with strong spiritual values. In particular, hypnotic interventions including cue-controlled self-hypnosis, simple guided imagery, and the "inner adviser" method were applied to maximize the effectiveness of PCT's three main treatment components: cognitive restructuring, training in breathing skills, and exposure with response prevention. The client's longstanding religiosity was therapeutically utilized in the delivery of hypnotic interventions. However, certain complicating systemic elements and potential resources in this case that could have been utilized further in this treatment, but were not, are explored.
