催眠治療

催眠療法，或稱催眠治療法、催眠治療、催眠心理療法等（英語：Hypnotherapy），是一種身心干預（英語：Mind–body interventions）技術，在這種干預中，催眠被用來創造一種注意力集中的狀態，並在處理生理或心理障礙或其他相關問題時，增加心理暗示能力。^[1]

該方法也被視為一種替代醫學技術。

催眠療法使用包括來自言語、環境等方面的心理暗示，使被催眠者進入放鬆、專注、注意力高度集中等類似睡眠卻非睡眠的狀態；在過程中，會使用心理暗示等指導性的意象，協助受助者處理其各種身心方面問題。

該方法與恍惚（英語：Trance）的意識狀態有密切關係。

該方法可用於練習自我催眠或（深度）放鬆。

各種治療方法

傳統催眠療法

認知/行為催眠療法

正念催眠療法

實際治療用途

戒煙

在戒煙方面，催眠療法比其他預防及治療措施，在治療六個月後的成功戒煙率更高。 ^[2]

分娩

催眠療法，可適用於分娩過程和產後護理^[3] ^[4]^[5] ^[6] ^[7]。目前仍未有足夠的證據來確定它是否可以減輕分娩時的疼痛^[8]和有效地預防產後抑鬱症。 ^[9]在2012年前，學界沒有對此方法進行過深入的研究。但是，在2013年進行的研究發現：「在分娩中使用催眠會導致藥理鎮痛和催產素的使用減少，從而縮短了第一產程的持續時間」。 ^[10] 2013年，在丹麥進行了研究，得出的結論是：「自我催眠課程可改善婦女的分娩體驗，並減少恐懼感」。 ^[11] 2015年，一組研究人員在英國進行了類似的研究：「自我催眠的積極經歷給人以鎮靜，自信和增強分娩的感覺」。 ^[12]催眠術被凱特米德爾頓（Kate Middleton）等名星使用。 ^[13]

其他用途

在許多其他醫學領域中，也有應用催眠學 ^[14]。在維多利亞時代，催眠用於治療了當時被稱為歇斯底里的疾病。 ^[15]

現代催眠療法已被廣泛接受，特別是用於治療某些習慣性疾病，如控制不合理的恐懼^[16] ^[17]以及治療失眠^[18]和成癮等病症。 ^[19]催眠術也已用於加強恢復非心理的病徵，例如手術後^[20]的乳腺癌護理^[21]甚至是腸胃疾病^[22]，包括大腸激躁症。 ^[23] ^[24]
