Kazuistika demonstruje užití hypnózy v psychoterapii (PST) jako hlavní metody v léčbě specifické (izolované) fobie, aviafobie. V příspěvku je podrobně popsána část PST, která je zaměřena na fobii a připravuje pacientku na let letadlem. Konkrétně se jedná o pět sezení, ve kterých byla 3× aplikována hypnóza. V době mezi sezeními praktikovala klientka též nácvik autogenního tréninku (AT) a pracovala s autosugescemi. Po úspěšném zvládnutí letu došlo k pokračování PST s následně dohodnutou pauzou, která však byla faktickým ukončením terapie. Kazuistika ukazuje vysokou účinnost hypnoticko-sugestivních metod v krátkém čase.

The case report demonstrates the use of hypnosis in psychotherapy (PST) as the principal method in treating a specific (isolated) phobia, aviophobia. The article describes in detail the part of PST that is focused on a phobia and prepares a patient for air travel. Specifically, there were five sessions in which hypnosis was used three times. In between the sessions, the client also practised autogenic training and worked with autosuggestions. After she had flown successfully, PST was resumed and then a pause was agreed on, which, in fact, turned out to be termination of the therapy. The case report shows a high efficacy of hypnotic-suggestive methods in a short time period.

BACKGROUND: Intense fear of flying, called aviophobia, is a highly prevalent psychological phenomenon, afflicting (in some estimates) up to 40% of the population of industrialized countries and although aviophobia is a highly prevalent mental health problem, published studies about its epidemiology and treatment are rare. METHODS: In this study, including 61 participants (28 males and 33 females; mean age 26.85) engaged in business related travels in the last two years, we assessed relationships of fear of flying problems with symptoms of stress also reflecting childhood traumatic stress experiences and its influences on brain sensitization and epileptic-like symptoms. In this assessment we also studied fear of flying symptoms and work related psychological problems described as burnout. RESULTS: The results show that the participants who manifest higher levels of stress symptoms have higher levels of aviophobic experiences. Stress symptoms measured by TSC-40 manifested significant correlations with aviophobic experiences measured by Flight Anxiety Modality Questionnaire (FAS) (Spearman R=0.46, p<0.01). Other correlations were found between FAS and Limbic System Checklist (LSCL-33) (Spearman R=0.39, p<0.01) and FAS and Burnout Measure (BM) (Spearman R=0.30, p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that the experience of fear of flying is related to past and recent stressful events and also to levels of work related problems described and experienced as burnout.
