This is one in an occasional series
about children’s health issues. We
know that many of our readers are
grandparents keenly interested in the
health and well-being of grandchil-
dren. We hope this series will provide
readers useful health information
they can share with their family.
When you think about hypnosis,
if you ever do, you may dismiss it as
hocus-pocus or a parlor trick. But
hypnotherapy – as it’s called when
used in a medical setting – can help
children who are experiencing ab-
dominal pain or situational anxiety.
Olafur Palsson is a clinical psy-
chologist at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill; he has de-
veloped hypnotherapy programs
for children and teens with stom-
ach problems. Dr. Palsson says,
“It is much easier to get kids into a
hypnotic state – to bring them away

them. Dr. Palsson says children can
quickly enter into a state of height-
ened imagery and focus, in which
their senses are fully engaged. The
hypnotherapist can then weave sug-
gestions into the imagery to help
the child achieve a therapeutic goal,
such as reducing pain or decreasing
anxiety.
In younger children, hypnothera-
py often uses adventure-based sto-
ries. An example as explained by Dr.
Palsson goes like this: A child who is
experiencing stomach pain is asked
to imagine that they have picked up
a magic stone, and that the stone
melts, giving their hand healing
properties. The hypnotherapist sug-
gests to the child that when they ex-
perience stomach pain, they should
imagine putting that healing hand
on their stomach to feel more com-
fortable.

The former interior designer’s style was the subject
of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum’s
Costume Institute in 2005, which turned out to
be an unexpected smash. The institute’s curator,
Harold Korda, said of Apfel: “She probably has
one of the two most important couture costume

The documentary, Iris, is
described as portraying
“a singular woman whose

Natural wines have been a fad for

Essentially, natural wines are made
