Abstract

This article gives an insight into some possible intervention strategies using the basic principles of hypnotherapy. An excerpt of a treatment is described, showing the main effect with this individual person. The therapist applied the idea of unconscious seedings by narrating other clients' strategies. At the end, he supports the search of individual strategies. Abstinence was controlled one year after the last meeting by self-report and CO-measurement.
