Abstract:
A 9 year old boy with intractable postprandial reflex vomiting was taught a self hypnotherapy technique incorporating relaxation exercises, mental imagery, and suggestions of symptom relief. The sequence was recorded on a personal stereo cassette tape. Vomiting was completely eliminated within four weeks. At 12 month review vomiting had not recurred.
