The works of Freud influence hypnotherapy by providing it with a concept and theoretical base.
They deliver an insight into dynamics of human mind and provide with understanding of mechanisms that take place there.
Psychoanalysis directs hypnotherapy into early stage indicating the importance of dreams, slips of tongue, fantasies and introducing 'talking cure' as method of a therapy.
Most of all it acknowledges the existence of the unconscious - that part of psyche that hypnosis is working with in a trance state.
Following psychoanalytical concepts influence psychotherapy: regression, sublimation, ambivalence, defence mechanism, compensation, denial, displacement, projection, rationalisation, repression, resistance - to name a few.
Elements of psychoanalysis are present during pre-hypnosis stage of hypnotherapy when a case history is taken and rapport is established.
The real motivation needs to be discovered, misconceptions cleared and conclusions taken by analysing the way patient address the problem, language he is using, concepts he is particularly keen on.
Techniques used during psychoanalysis are also used during in a trance: automatic writing, sublimation of symptoms and compensating.
Elements of psychoanalysis are utilized in following hypnotherapeutic techniques: Healing the inner child - the script is based on conviction that unprocessed memories, emotions, traumatic events can result in neurosis later in life.
Those elements need to be processed and integrated in a healthy way to unable healing process.
Psychoanalysis is concentrated on those psychic events of a childhood trying to bring them on the conscious level to trigger a catharsis that is beneficial for the patient's well - being.
Hypnotherapy utilises the concept of the wounded child and work with that in a trance state.
Regression - as above works on the basis that returning to the earlier stage of development or behaviour can help avoiding anxiety associated with present stage (psychoanalytical theory of stages of development).
Symptoms can be manipulated by regressing patient to the stage when the problem occurred changing his response to the problem when out of trance.
Rebirthing (there is discussion if rebirthing can be called hypnotherapeutic method in spite of inducing trance like state) - based on assumption of importance the earliest events of life - especially blocked emotions and painful memories.
Technique aims to acknowledge and reintegrate those feelings using a breathing method that cause a shock and release of traumatic elements.
It is used especially to deal with trauma of birth that can leave a tension in a body and be a primal cause of emotional problems.
Releasing of emotions helps to develop positive attitude towards life and gain a healthy way of responding to environment.
Psychoanalytical approach provides hypnotherapy with concept of sublimation, defence mechanisms, repression, resistance etc.
It indicates the importance of unconscious and early stage of life with its complexes and traumas.
Especially important is acknowledging of role of unconscious as a driving force of all human behaviour.
So the most efficient way of changing the behaviour is to influence subconscious level of psyche.
Hypnosis has an access to that part of the mind and can enhance all psychodynamic techniques it uses.
