| Özet |
| Ericksonian hypnotherapy (EH), a client-centered hypnotic approach characterized by indirect suggestion, individualized flexibility, collaboration, and the principle of Utilization, has seen increased interest as a therapeutic modality across diverse clinical settings. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EH by synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2015 and 2025. Eight eligible RCTs (N = 676) were identified, spanning conditions such as acute pain, depression, grief, irritable bowel syndrome, disordered eating, and alcohol use. EH interventions consistently produced significant symptom reductions compared to waitlists or standard care, with a pooled standardized mean difference of 1.17 (95% CI: 0.70–1.64), indicating a large effect. Moreover, trials comparing EH to active treatments (e.g., CBT, motivational interviewing) revealed comparable efficacy, with pooled estimates supporting non-inferiority. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. Notably, some trials suggested that the indirect and personalized nature of EH may confer advantages in domains like grief and hypervigilance. Although evidence remains limited by sample size and heterogeneity, this review provides initial empirical support for EH and supports its inclusion in the evidence-based repertoire for both physical and psychological conditions. Future research should examine mechanisms of change and individual predictors of response to optimize the use of this distinctive hypnotic style. |
