[Breaking the drinking habits of alcoholics with hypnosis. Psychological and technical dynamisms]

Hypnosis therapy, with its ego support and strengthening techniques, with its cathartic or hypoanalytic method (automatic writing, drawing, hypnodrama but, above all, age regression), by means of will strengthening technique, post-hypnotic comands, etc., represents an all-round system whose aims are not simply to reach a speedy analysis of the patient's inner recesses, but to decondition by negative stimuli and recondition by positive stimuli. Hypnotherapy is based essentially on the dynamism of visualisation. The role of perception as a moment of input or penetration of the pathogenic idea in different growth stages, is the same that is exploited when, in that moment of enhanced receptivity which is hypnosis, in that moment of "burning boats with respect to the subjective perception of reality", haemotigenous visualisations are inculcated which remain dynamically active and operative after long-standing distorted perceptions have been destructured.
