Burn Unit, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer Israel.

Autohypnosis (that is performing hypnosis in the absence of the therapist) was used for adjuvant analgesic and anxiolytic therapy in 18 burn patients. It combines the advantages of hypnosis without being limited by the availability of the hypnotic therapist immediately prior to painful activities. Autohypnosis is less time and labour consuming, and therefore less expensive. Out of 180 patients treated with autogenic relaxation techniques only 48 (27 per cent) entered a state of hypnosis that enabled them to cope with their pain, and 18 (10 per cent) achieved autohypnosis. Most of these patients needed some auxiliary devices such as recorded instructions or telephone calls.
