The 29 years old married female had derealisation, depersonalisation, hallucinations, delusions, tiredness and switched 7 psychiatrists in 8 years. The last psychiatrist referred her to the psychologist for CBT. The psychologist decided to manage the case with hypno CBT approach and the client was off medication after 14 sessions in 1 year and the psychotherapy was weaned off after 20 sessions. In this case the psychologist included the husband in the management plan and hypno CBT with family counselling worked wonderfully in treating the client.
