Hypnosis began in Slovenia, under the auspices of prof. dr. Marjan Pajntarja, to be used in 1962 in the Kranj maternity hospital to relieve pain during childbirth. Ten years later, as many as 20 percent of all women in labor gave birth with the help of hypnosis in the maternity hospital in Kranj.
Its use then spread to the field of rehabilitation, forensics, dentistry, sports, and at the same time as hypnotherapy for various psychosomatic, psychological and somatic problems.
There is so much scientific research available today that confirms the effectiveness of hypnosis, so we can rightly conclude that medical hypnosis is effective in treating psychological and psychosomatic problems.
Currently, the use of hypnosis in the clinical and research fields continues to increase, as does research into the neuropsychological mechanisms involved in the hypnotic process.
