review and comparison of the effect of therapy method of hipnotherapy and short-term psychodynamic therapy on the psychological distress of patients with chronic pain.

The current research is prospective, practical and experimental. The statistical population was all patients with chronic pain disorder in Tehran in 2019. Sampling was done in a purposive samplingand 60 people (20 people in each group (two experimental groups and one control group)) were selected from patients with chronic pain disorder and were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Short-term psychotherapy and hypnotherapy training was provided to the experimental group for 8 sessions; World Health Organization quality of life questionnaires,West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Questionnaire, Waterloo Stanford Hypnotizability Questionnaire (1993), Dunlow's short-term psychodynamic therapy and Watson's hypnotherapy were used to collect information.

Both methods of intervention have led to an decrease in the average of the four components of the psychological distress in the post-test and follow-up stages. Also, compared to hypnotherapy, short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy has increased the psychological distress of patients.

Both short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy decrease the psychological distress in patients with chronic pain, but ShortTerm Dynamic Psychotherapy is more effective compared to hypnotherapy.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on the anxiety dimensions of 3 to 10-year-old children with autism during dental interventions.

The research method used was descriptive correlation and structural equation modeling through path analysis. The statistical population of this study included children with autism spectrum disorder who were referred to a private dental office located in Dana Complex, Busar Bridge, Rasht, Iran. A sample of 32 children with autism spectrum disorder, categorized as having mild to moderate levels based on the Wechsler-Hosh-Behr questionnaire recorded in their medical records, was selected using purposive sampling. They were then randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups, each comprising 16 participants. The sample size of 32 was chosen to account for potential dropouts. The experimental group received 8 sessions of hypnosis based on mindfulness, which was conducted by the first partner of the project, who had completed hypnotherapy courses. Data were collected using the Social Support Appraisals Scale (SSAS), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Relapse Prediction Scale (RPS) questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using stepwise regression and structural equation modeling with SPSS-23 and Smart-PLS software.

The results showed significant correlations between the research variables, and all research hypotheses were confirmed.

Dental clinics are common places that induce fear and anxiety in dental patients, especially in children with autism spectrum disorder. This leads to negative emotions in the patients. Therefore, hypnotherapy is potentially a powerful method to control and reduce these negative factors, helping to better prepare their minds for optimal dental services.

Trichotillomania (hair–pulling disorder) is a psychological disorder whose treatment is one of the most challenging clinical and mental health issues. Despite various physical and social problems, especially psychological problems such as high anxiety and low self–esteem in people with trichotillomania, it is less commonly diagnosed and treated. Prevalence studies showed that about 1% of the total population and more than 10% of the student population suffer from trichotillomania, which was higher among female students. Therefore, due to the shortage of experimental and theoretical research in this field, as well as the occurrence of psychological problems in students and their lack of development in adulthood, the present study compared the effect of aversion therapy and hypnotherapy on reducing symptoms and increasing the self–esteem of students with trichotillomania (hair–pulling disorder).

The present research method was quasi–experimental with a pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included all students who had been referred to counselling centers and the psychological clinic of the Education Department of Bilesvar County to solve their trichotillomania disorder in 2018–2019. Of whom, 45 eligible volunteers were randomly selected and divided into two experimental groups (aversion therapy and hypnotherapy) and one control group (Each group of 15 individuals). The inclusion criteria were as follows: a psychiatrist's diagnosis of trichotillomania disorder based on the DSM–5 criteria, the age range of 10 to 18 years, attendance at all meetings, and not receiving psychological treatments at least one month before the intervention. The exclusion criteria were not attending meetings or receiving any other intervention and unwillingness to continue treatment. One experimental group received aversion therapy in 6 sessions, and the other received hypnotherapy in 8 sessions. The Coopersmith Self–Esteem Questionnaire (Coopersmith, 1967) and the Massachusetts General Hospital Hair–Pulling Scale (Keuthen et al., 1995) were used for data collection. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive (mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage) and inferential statistics (1–way analysis of variance, Chi–square test, Tukey's test, and multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance) in SPSS version 16. The significance level of statistical tests was set at 0.05.

The results showed that by controlling the effects of the pretest, the impact of the groups was significant, and the mean scores of the hair–pulling variable in the two experimental groups (hypnotherapy and aversion therapy) were significantly lower in the posttest compared to the control group (p=0.013). Also, the mean scores of the self–esteem variable in the two experimental groups (hypnotherapy and aversion therapy) increased significantly in the posttest compared to the control group (p=0.021). In the paired comparison of the studied groups, there was a significant difference in the mean scores of the variables of hair pulling and self–esteem between the experimental groups with the control group (p<0.001). Also, a significant difference was observed between the experimental groups' average scores of the mentioned variables (p<0.001).

Based on research findings, aversion therapy and hypnotherapy are effective in reducing trichotillomania symptoms and increasing the self–esteem of students with trichotillomania. However, hypnotherapy is more effective in reducing trichotillomania symptoms (focused and automatic) and increasing self–esteem than aversion therapy.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is one of the most common problems in women of childbearing age that often interferes with their work and social relationships. One of the theories proposed to cause the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome is environmental factors such as stress. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of hypnotherapy and virtual reality technology on the stress of premenstrual syndrome.

This clinical trial study was conducted on 90 students of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences who were suffering from premenstrual syndrome and were selected using  convenient sampling and then randomly assigned to three hypnotherapy groups (30 people), virtual reality technology group (30 people) and control group (30 people).Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaires, premenstrual syndrome screening and DASS21. Relaxation through virtual reality and hypnosis was implemented in 3 sessions in the test groups, and a post-test was taken one month after the completion of the sessions. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and Tukey’s post hoc test with SPSS-24.

The average stress score in the intervention groups compared to the control group had a significant decrease (P<0.001), but in the comparison between the two intervention groups, no significant difference was observed between these two methods, and the role of each was equally effective in reducing stress(P=0.620).

Both hypnotherapy and virtual reality technology are effective in reducing stress. It is recommended to use hypnotherapy and virtual reality technology to control stress

review and comparison of the effect of therapy method of hinotherapy and short-term psychodynamic therapy on the quality of life of patients with chronic pain.

The current research is prospective, practical and experimental. The statistical population was all patients with chronic pain disorder in Tehran in 2019. Sampling was done in a purposive samplingand 60 people (20 people in each group (two experimental groups and one control group)) were selected from patients with chronic pain disorder and were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Short-term psychotherapy and hypnotherapy training was provided to the experimental group for 8 sessions; World Health Organization quality of life questionnaires,West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Questionnaire, Waterloo Stanford Hypnotizability Questionnaire (1993), Dunlow's short-term psychodynamic therapy and Watson's hypnotherapy were used to collect information.

The average difference of the physical health, mental health, social health and environmental health components of the quality of life in the pre-test-post-test and pre-test-follow-up stages was significant, but the difference of those averages in the post-test follow-up stages was not significant. Both methods of intervention have led to an increase in the average of the four components of the quality of life in the post-test and follow-up stages. Also, compared to hypnotherapy, short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy has increased the physical health components of quality of life (p=0.021), environmental health (p=0.032) and mental health (p=0.007).

Both short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy increase the quality of life in patients with chronic pain, but ShortTerm Dynamic Psychotherapy is more effective compared to hypnotherapy.

Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic disease with extensive musculoskeletal pain that primarily involves women and also it has negatively effects on many aspects of psychological and social life. Cognitive-behavioral therapy examines dysfunctional emotions and maladaptive cognitive behaviors, processes, and themes, and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy combines hypnotherapy with the methods and concepts of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy with cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy on sexual satisfaction of women with fibromyalgia syndrome.

This clinical trial study was done on 9 women with fibromyalgia syndrome who referred to rheumatology clinic in Gorgan, northern Iran in 2020. The patients were randomly divided into three groups including cognitive-behavioral therapy, combination cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy and control group. The treatments used were performed for 8 sessions separately for 2 groups of 3 people in Pars Tavan Comprehensive Center. Control group did not receive any intervention. A multidimensional sexual satisfaction questionnaire of Roshan 2014 was used to evaluate patients.

Sexual satisfaction in post-test on both interventional group showed a significant improvement compared to control group (P<0.05). Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy with 59.38% was more effective than cognitive-behavioral therapy with 43.01 and also it was the same 2 month after follow up (P<0.05).

Combined therapy of cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy increased sexual satisfaction in women with fibromyalgia syndrome more than cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) is a psychological disorder that its treatment is one of the most challenging clinical and mental health issues. Despite various physical and social problems, especially psychological problems such as high anxiety and low self-esteem in people with trichotillomania, It is less commonly diagnosed and treated. To treat trichotillomania, various interventions based on different approaches have been proposed, including cognitive-behavioral therapies such as habit reversal and hypnotherapy. Because of few experimental and theoretical studies in this field, as well as the occurrence of psychological problems in students and their outcomes in adulthood, the present study compared the effect of habit reversal and hypnotherapy on increasing the self-esteem of students with trichotillomania and reducing their symptoms.

The present research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included all students referred to the Counseling Center and the Psychological Clinic of the Education Administration of Bilesvar City, Iran, to treat their trichotillomania in 2018-2019. Then, 45 eligible volunteers were randomly selected and divided into two experimental groups (habit reversal and hypnotherapy) and one control group (each group of 15 individuals). The inclusion criteria were a psychiatrist's diagnosis of trichotillomania based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria, aged 10 to 18 years, attending all intervention sessions, and not under psychological treatment at least one month before the intervention. The exclusion criteria included having a personality disorder or bipolar disorder, using psychotropic drugs or any other intervention one month before the study, and being unwilling to continue treatment. The Self-Esteem Questionnaire (Coopersmith, 1981) and the Milwaukee Inventory for Subtypes of Trichotillomania–Adult Version (MIST-A) (Flessner et al., 2008) were used to gather information in the pretest and posttest for three groups. Habit reversal therapy interventions in nine sessions and hypnotherapy in eight sessions were performed only for the experimental groups. The obtained data were sorted through descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, and analyzed by inferential statistics, including 1-way analysis of variance, the Chi-square test, multivariate analysis of covariance, and Tukey post hoc test in SPSS software. The significance level for all tests was set at 0.05.

By controlling the effect of pretest scores, the scores of focused trichotillomania (p=0.013) and automatic trichotillomania (p=0.017) in the two experimental groups decreased compared to the control group. Also, the score of the self-esteem variable in the two experimental groups increased compared to the control group (p=0.021). In addition, the hypnotherapy method had a more significant decreasing effect on the focused trichotillomania (p=0.027) and the automatic trichotillomania (p=0.026) compared to the habit reversal method. Hypnotherapy also had a more significant effect on self-esteem than the habit reversal method (p=0.024).

Based on the research findings, two methods of habit reversal therapy and hypnotherapy have a significant effect on reducing the symptoms of trichotillomania and increasing self-esteem in students with hair pulling. However, the hypnotherapy method is more effective in reducing the symptoms of trichotillomania and increasing self-esteem in students with hair pulling than the habit reversal.

Addiction is one of the four world crises, along with environmental degradation, poverty and famine, war and bloodshed, and the emergence of emerging diseases, threatening the health of human societies. Drug addiction is a neuropsychiatric disorder that is associated with unpleasant habits and a strong desire to consume among its users and has caused many sufferings and calamities for many years by causing health problems for its abusers. Many people, due to the unpleasant side effects of addictive substances, its unwanted dangers, as well as the legal problems that these substances cause them over time, insist on using these substances and suffer from physical and psychological consequences by repeating their consumption pattern.. Substance abuse disorder can lead to many substance abuse patients with psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety and depression. Nervous aggression, severe mood swings, high irritability, manic, suspicious and risky behaviors, high-risk behaviors such as aggression to oneself and others, are some of the psychological effects of addiction that occur over time. In this disease, the importance of psychological therapies and coping methods (prevention) are considered as basic principles.The importance of addiction in Iran is the highest prevalence in the world with 2.8%. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hypnotherapy on impulsivity, coping styles and addiction symptoms of addicts.

This quasi-experimental study was performed on 36 patients with a mean age of 29.38 years with a standard deviation of 3.38 in the hypnotherapy group and in a control group of 30.77 years with a standard deviation of 4.45 from clients referred to the Bandar Anzali Liberation Cottage Camp, with opioid use disorder in Aban to Bahman 1398. Questionnaire compilers were selected by available methods and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design with a control group. Experimental method is a set of research methods that is used to find cause and effect relationships between two or more variables. The statistical population in this study is all patients referred to the short-term and medium-term residential center (camp) of Bandar Anzali Liberation Cottage in 1398 who have opioid use disorder conditions. Second, they were eligible through a clinical interview based on DSM-5 criteria. Sampling method is available. In this way, among the clients to the short-term and medium-term accommodation center (camp) of Anzali Port Liberation Cottage, a questionnaire was provided to those who were eligible to participate in the research. And then in the second stage for sample selection, among those who received a high score in the questionnaire, 36 people (in a pilot study, a sample size of at least 15 people in each group is recommended. The group was considered) randomly assigned to two groups of 18 people (one experimental group and one control group). The experimental group underwent hypnotherapy for 8 two-hour sessions and the control group was placed on a waiting list. At the end of the intervention, the groups were retested. The method of data collection in the form of clinical interviews and questionnaires was as followsData collection tools, Barat Impulsivity questionnaire, Madsley addiction profile and Lazarus and Folkman coping styles (WOCQ) were completed with high validity and reliability before and after treatment. The experimental group underwent hypnotherapy in 8 sessions of 2 hours for 4 months.

The results showed that hypnotherapy reduced impulsivity, emotion-focused coping style and addiction symptoms, and increased problem-oriented coping style of addicts.

The concept of hypnosis is reminiscent of the innumerable perceptions of non-specialist clinicians. Even the term hypnosis can be misleading because it is derived from the Greek root hypnos meaning sleep. In fact, hypnosis is not a dream, but rather a complex process that requires conscious concentration and attention. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for directing the innate abilities of imagery, imagination and attention. Many believe that the ballinger transmits hypnotic trance to the patient, or that the ballinger has the power to penetrate the patient. In fact, it is the patient who is prone to hypnosis, and the key role is to assess the patientchr('39')s ability to exploit this strength and help the patient to discover and use it effectively. Patient motivation, personality style, and biological aptitude may play a role. During hypnotic trance, focused attention and visualization are enhanced and at the same time environmental awareness is reduced. This ecstasy can be induced by a hypnotist through a coded method of induction, but ecstasy can also occur spontaneously. Hypnosis and spontaneous trance are traits that vary from person to person, but remain relatively constant throughout onechr('39')s life cycle. Hypnotherapy can be used as a powerful tool to orient innate abilities, imagery, imagination, attention, hypnotic inductions and involuntary indoctrination to increase the mental health of addicts.

Love is one of the most amazing emotions a person can experience and emotional failure is one of the most painful problems that can happen to anyone during a romantic relationship. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on positive and negative affect and self-efficacy of women with a history of emotional failure.

The present study is of quasi-experimental with design pre-test, post-test and follow up with the control group. The statistical population included all women referring to counseling centers in Amol city with a history of emotional failure in 2017. 30 subjects were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. In order to conduct the research, Rosschr('39')s emotional injury (1999), Panas Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) (1988) and self-efficacy questionnairs (Shaurzerz and Grosselm, 1995) were used. The experimental group received hypnotherapy for 8 sessions of 2 hours weekly. The research findings were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc in SPSS software.

The results of repeated ANOVA test showed that 8 sessions of hypnotherapy training significantly increased the positive affect (p<0.001) and self- efficacy (p<0.001) but decreased the negative effect (p<0.001) in the experimental group to the control group that showed a significant effect of hypnotherapy on the recovery of people with a history of emotional failure.

According to research findings, hypnotherapy can be used to improve the quality of life and increase hope for the future in people with a history of emotional failure.

A highly painful event that individuals might experience is a romantic relationship collapse. Due to the subtle spirit of women, this group is more prone to suffer mental damages. The damages caused is increased perceived stress and decreased mindfulness in these individuals. Perceived stress is a psychological state or process in which individuals perceive their biopsychological well-being as threatening. Mindfulness defined as a state of understanding and being aware of what is going on at the moment. Mindfulness is a clear awareness of a person about what occurs inside and in interaction with the outside environment in the consecutive moments of perceptions. Given the depth of damage caused by emotional failure, hypnotherapy intervention could be beneficial in this group. Hypnotherapy is a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) technique that could be effective in treating individuals with a history of emotional failure. Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy involves several basic methods, including relaxation, guided imaging, cognitive reconstruction, gradual desensitization, and hypnotic skills training. Due to the emergence of essential problems in women with a history of emotional failure, this study aimed to determine the effects of hypnotherapy on mindfulness and perceived stress in women with a history of emotional failure.

This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and a control group design. The statistical population of this study was all 20- to 40-year-old women referring to counseling centers in Amol City, Iran, in 2017; of which, 30 individuals were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The study participants were selected by convenience sampling method after establishing the signs of emotional failure. Rosschr('39')s Emotional Damage questionnaire (1999), Perceived Stress Scale (Kohen et al, 1983), and Mindfulness Scale (Brown & Rian, 2003) were used for data collection. The study subjects were then subjected to hypnotherapy for eight 2-hour weekly sessions. However, the control group received no intervention. The above-mentioned questionnaires were completed in two stages; after the completion of hypnotherapy and one month after the last session of hypnotherapy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the achieved data. Various descriptive statistics, such as frequency table, frequency percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used for descriptive analysis. The Shapiro–Wilk test was used to examine the normal distribution of data. The repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to analyze the findings at the significance level of p<0.05.

The repeated-measures ANOVA data suggested that 8 sessions of hypnotherapy training have increased the mindfulness scores in the experimental group (F=130.00, p<0.001). Furthermore, 8 sessions of hypnotherapy training have led to a reduction of the perceived stress scores in the experimental group (F=36.00, p<0.001). These results continued during the follow-up stage in the mind-reading (p<0.001) and perceived stress (p<0.001) variables.

hypnotherapy improves mindfulness with mental relaxation training, increased awareness, acceptance, and desensitization. Besides, it reduces perceived stress in women with a history of emotional breakdown by training diaphragmatic breathing, or deep breathing and progressive relaxation. Therefore, this treatment is effective in improving mindfulness and reducing perceived stress in women with a history of emotional failure. Moreover, it effectively increases the quality of life in this population.

The aim of this study was to develop a therapeutic plan based on hypnotherapy for patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and determine the effectiveness of this treatment on the intensity of IBS symptoms and rumination of patients with IBS.

The research design was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test, a post-test, and 3 months of follow-up. Of the patients who were referred to gastroenterology clinics in Tehran, 32 patients with IBS were randomly divided into two groups; hypnotherapy group and control group. Medical treatment along with hypnotherapy was individually conducted for eight sessions in the intervention group and the control group received only medical treatment. IBS Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) and rumination were completed in pretest, post-test, and follow-up stages by the patients and data were analyzed with repeated measures analysis of variance.

The variable scores of symptoms severity and rumination in experimental group was significantly lower than the control group (p > 0.05) and the effect of the therapeutic plan persisted until the follow-up stage.

The results showed that hypnotherapy can be an effective treatment for patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, psychological treatment is essential for the management of these patients.
