The first strike against this is the title of the journal; Integrative Therapy. But up to you if you want your doctor to access this.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF HYPNOSIS IN THE REHABILITATION OF YOUNG STROKE SURVIVORS.
- Abstract: The survival rate after stroke has increased during the last decades, resulting in a rise in the need for rehabilitation services. Stroke has serious consequences, not only for physical, communicative and cognitive capacities, but also for emotional, motivational and interpersonal abilities. In Sweden, rehabilitation clinics offer programmes to stroke survivors encompassing physical, communicative and cognitive rehabilitation. Although 30% of patients suffer emotional, motivational and interpersonal difficulties, standard rehabilitation programmes do not meet these needs. In this article, aspects of clinical hypnosis that could have a potential for treating emotional, motivational and interpersonal deficits following stroke are reviewed. The article reports a pilot study of a hypnotherapeutic approach as a complementary component of a standard rehabilitation programme for stroke survivors. The report suggests that hypnosis is a cost-effective method for the rehabilitation of emotional, motivational and interpersonal deficits after stroke.
