Treatment included group hypnosis with metaphors for ego-strengthening, decision making and motivation, ideomotor explora- tion in individual hypnosis, and group hypnosis with maintenance suggestions. Hypnosis was more effective than a control group: an average of 17 lbs lost by the hypnosis group vs. an average of 0.5 lbs lost by the con- trol group, on follow-up.
