“…The rationale for the clinical applications described in this chapter is based on theoretical formulations advanced by Hanin (1978) and UnestPhl (1981) and on the empirical case studies described by Johnson (1961aJohnson ( , 1961b. Although the theoretical views of Hanin and UnestHhl represent independent proposals, these formulations converge in terms of hypnotic application.…”

“…The player had become frustrated about his inability to return to his prior performance level, and he had requested hypnosis to resolve the problem. Johnson (1961a) initially asked the player under hypnosis to explain the nature of his problem, and the player replied that he had no idea why he was in a slump. Johnson then told the player that he would gradually count from 1 to 10, and with each number, the player would become more and more aware of why he could no longer hit effectively.…”

“…First, it is widely recognized that athletes in various sports often have spontaneous remission of problems (e.g., "slumps"), and it would be difficult to argue that a hypnotic intervention was responsible for the resolution of a given prob-lem. Second, the information gained in the hypnoanalysis done by Johnson (1961a) was not available under nonhypnotic conditions. Third, the player demonstrated unusual insight, according to Johnson, because he chose to have the wealth of biomechanical information return gradually.…”

“…The runner was asked to clarify the meaning of selected terms or phrases he had used, and then he was asked the following question: "Would you like to have complete recall for all of this information, or would you prefer to forget about it, or perhaps, have it come back to you gradually?" The decision to ask this question was based on the earlier demonstration by Johnson (1961a) that athletes sometimes do not wish to become aware of repressed material in the post-hypnotic state. The decision to ask whether he would prefer that this information gradually return also was based on Johnson's case study, and it was intended to prevent the athlete from becoming overwhelmed or further confused as a result of this .previously repressed material.…”

“…On the basis of the earlier example described by Johnson (1961a), he was initially age-regressed to a recent game in which the problem occurred, and he was asked to describe the situation. He had previously agreed that he did not object to the team physician or author asking him questions as the analysis proceeded.…”

t is remarkable that hypnosis has not been used more frequently by I workers in the field of sport and exercise psychology, because the difference between success and failure is often minuscule. Indeed, the difference between a gold medal in Olympic competition and failure to even qualify for the final event is sometimes less than a hundredth of a second. Hence, any intervention that might have the ability to enhance performance by even a small margin (e.g., 0.001 %), providing 151

There are, however, many instances in which the use of hypnosis in the practice of sport psychology or sports medicine would be questionable from both an ethical and a moral standpoint, and although not in direct violation of existing rules and codes, such actions would potentially violate the "spirit of the law." It is inappropriate, for example, to use drugs such as morphine or no-Adapted from The Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis (pp. 649-670).
