KOROTKOVA'S METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING PATIENTS EMPLOYING CONTROLLED HYPNOSIS BRINGING THEM TO DEEPLY ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

摘要

The method for diagnosing and treating the patients employing the controlled hypnosis bringing them to the deeply altered state of the consciousness comprises the clinical examination followed by the hypnotic seances. Prior to the diagnosis or the treatment the doctor sets forth the task for the patients and the controlled hypnosis is initiated bringing the patients to the deeply altered state of their consciousness. Upon being dehypnotized the patients are inquired for their psychosensorial feelings and sensations such as creeping sensations (throughout the body or at the specified areas), feelings of the heaviness or easiness in the body, constraints of the thought, the loss of time sense and the sensation of the body, the psychosensorial feeling of the clinical death. Such an inquiry is useful for assessing whether the deeply altered state of the consciousness is attained. Until the fourth hypnotic seance the patients are dehypnotized by the person performing the hypnotic suggestion while later on the duration of the hypnosis as well as the number of the seances are predetermined by the patients themselves with the aim of detecting the disorders in specified systems of the body followed by correcting their functioning.
