Sensory hypnoanalysis

Sensory hypnoanalysis as a psychotherapeutic approach emphasizes the reorganization of cognitive correlates of sensory and motor components encountered in behavioral disorders. Nonverbal stimulation is utilized in elucidating areas of sensory deprivation and sensory overloading which appear linked to disorganizing or interfering effects upon the behavioral process.     

The production of antisocial behavior through hypnosis: New clinical data

The role of hypnosis in relation to the production of antisocial behavior is re-evaluated. Both specific psychodynamic factors which play a role in creating conditions under which antisocial behavior is possible and the relationship of this kind of behavior to the social context within which it takes place are examined. Particular emphasis is placed on the personality of the hypnotist and the emergent compliance of the patient. In this connection, clinical material is presented from the current treatment of several patients who have been involved in antisocial behavior in connection with the use of hypnosis.     

Knee osteoarthritis in women

Osteoarthritis is a disease that progresses over time and culminates in the destruction of articular cartilage and joints. Thus, with an increasing elderly population the treatment of knee osteoarthritis has become a major healthcare issue. It has been shown that women are more severely impacted by knee osteoarthritis. Differences in knee anatomy, kinematics, previous knee injury, and hormonal influences may play a role. Sex difference with respect to osteoarthritis presentation, treatment, and the allocation of resources also exists. In general, women present for treatment in more advanced stages of osteoarthritis and have more debilitating pain than their male counterparts. In addition, healthcare providers are more likely to recommend total joint arthroplasty for their male patients. Understanding how and why these gender differences occur is instrumental in formulating an inclusive strategy for combating osteoarthritis in the future.
