In this study an ecosystemic approach to self-hypnosis was utilised as a tool to explore and
describe the healing of sport injuries. Four injured Subjects, from four different sporting
activities participated in the study. Self-hypnosis/hypnosis was used as a linguistic means
to perturb the problem-defining ideas within which the sport injury was embedded. Problem
dis-solution involved a process of reframing each Subject's current reality through dialogue,
and a new reality for each respective Subject was co-constructed through consequent
linguistic differentiation. The hypnotist, participating in the linguistic domain as an equal
participant, looked for intended meanings in each respective conversational exchange with
the athletes, and synthesised information creatively. This process and the thinking behind
each case study is described in detail in this dissertation. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
