Hypnosis: An Option, But Is It More Than That?

I hear ads for hypnosis as a weight loss method on the radio all the time. But you don't hear much about its use in eating disorder treatment.

It turns out that the usefulness of hypnosis as a treatment option may depend on the kind of eating disorder that's present, because only a subgroup of those with eating disorders are usually suggestible enough to benefit.
