The typical progress of improvement using hypnosis in a case of nail-biting is described in the following report written by a subject of mine, S. K., who received but one treatment :
Wednesday, November 8, 1933.
"The first few hours after the experiment were not out of the ordinary. I did not try to bite my nails, but I believe this was more from will power than anything else, because my mind was constantly on my nails."
Thursday, November 9, 1933.
"The experiment seems to be working with quite a good deal of efficiency. I filed my nails, and rounded them off. My mind was not on my nails, and only once, when I saw an uneven curve, did I feel like biting it to round it off. However, I used the file."
Friday, November 10, 1933.
"Nothing unusual. I do not recall thinking of nails during the day, nor have I any recollection of trying to bite them."
Saturday, November 11,1933.
"I was asked how my nails were since the experiment. I looked at them, and found that they looked better than at any time for the past four or five years. Still have no desire to bite them, even to round them off. I just recalled that I used to bite them when I was excited over something, and that since Wednesday I have been excited over several things, and did not try to bite the nails."
