[Bimanual antalgic maneuver on the parturient conditioned with hypnosis: delivery without medical assistance]

A personal bimanual antalgic manipulation on hypnotized parturient is proposed as a normal method of delivery assistance since it is quicker and takes less emotionally out of the physician than "delivery under hypnosis". The question of "childbirth without medical assistance" is also discussed, reference being made to an exceptional case of post-hypnotic control. This compared to all those cases of patients who deliver without the preparatory hypnotist being present.
