SUBJECT: man.
PROBLEM: intractable, painful paraesthesias, since nine years, after a very severe injury to the low spine; very annoying insomnia; frequent thoughts about suicide.
APPROACH: indirect; analgesic training; hypnoanalysis.
RESULT: immediate and sub-total hypnotic removal of paraesthesias, with instable effects, but then permanent after hypnoanalysis; hypnotic release of resentment for past bad events; crutch disposal and free walking; emotional departure from the status of being handicapped.
FOLLOW-UP (3-4 years): paraesthesias absent or negligible, good nocturnal sleep, no need of drugs; restoration of a normal life; no more usage of any crutch; birth of the first baby from his wife.
