Contemporary literature on the aetiopathogenesis of severe mental disorders emphasizes dysfunctional forms of caregiving as predictors of psychological and physical suffering in adolescence and adulthood. This paper relates the analysis of neglect and maltreatment, i.e., dysfunctional forms of caregiving, with the founding principles of Ericksonian hypnotic psychotherapy, proposing the hypothesis that, from a naturalistic perspective, hypnosis may be a tool of choice in treating severe mental disorders.

Keywords: p Factor, traumatic developments, severe mental disorders, hypnotherapy.
