Obsessions

SUBJECT: woman.

PROBLEM: invincible obsessive neurosis, resistant to fifteen years of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and drug therapies of many kinds; depression, fear, anguish, compulsion to obsessively clean every part of her home many times a day.

APPROACH: hypnotic inductions initially refused or failing; instant induction (about 15 seconds) successful, but immediately followed by a strong mental disorientation, reactions of fear, and spontaneous release (after half a minute) with deep peace but also intense dullness.

RESULT: unexpected disappearance of subject's obsessions after just three days; no further need to clean obsessively; regaining of happiness and sexual desire.

FOLLOW-UP (3 years): no more neurosis; no substituting symptoms.
