In order to put the individual feedbacks and reports of our test persons on a
wide statistical basis we have designed a questionnaire and have brought together
420 hospitals, doctors and therapists that had made longer term experience
with deep suggestions.
172 responses (=41,9%) that we received within 8 weeks
have been a remarkably high number in consideration of this kind of surveys.
The results have not only shown the opinions of the therapists but have reflected
the valuation of more than 20 000 patients.
That’s why this study presents
a representative cross-section of all medical-therapeutic users of deep suggestion.
A main part of the questionnaire has been the valuation of different aspects
of our method in using a rating system from 1 to 6 (1=very good, 6=insufficient).
The results (number of the valuation shown in absolute figures) are combined
in the table below.
| Criteria/rate | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | No statement |
Average rating |
| psychological content | 56 | 100 | 14 | 2 | 1,75 | |||
| voice of the speaker | 60 | 84 | 16 | 6 | 6 | - | - | 1,91 |
| text in the corresponding brochure | 24 | 106 | 26 | 4 | - | - | 12 | 2,06 |
| effectiveness as a therapy concomitant measures | 40 | 98 | 24 | 2 | - | - | 8 | 1,93 |
| combination of music, speech/ whispering voices | 80 | 68 | 18 | - | 2 | - | 4 | 1,67 |
| effectiveness as an autonomous „medication“ | 14 | 74 | 42 | 16 | 4 | - | 22 | 2,48 |
The ratings prove the high standard of deep suggestion. Especially good
valuated is the combination of music, speech and whispering voices. For
this reason our method in its totality gets a statically proven, positive
recognition.
The estimation of this method as an “autonomous medication” is low rated
(2,48%) compared with the other categories but it still exceeds our expectations
and intentions by far. It is amazing that 88 of 172 users have made good
to very good experiences. After all we obviously point out that our self-help
programme is primary an accompaniment and support for therapeutic measures
but not conceived as an independent therapy.
Further, the rating of the speaking voice of Dr. Stein gets a surprisingly
positive valuation. Even though the calmative accent as well as the natural
rhythm and the speech melody is arranged to meet a wide acceptance, negative
feelings (“too soft”, “a bit mawkish”) not seldom come around with the
recognition and valuation of the pleasing “warm” voices. Nevertheless only
6 of 172 interviewed people indicate the voice of the speaker as insufficient,
144 are of the opinion that it is good to very good. This positive feedback
bears us out in the choice of this eminent important component of our suggestion
programme.
This survey has shown: The deep suggestion is an effective mental appliance
that receives responds by both therapists and patients. The method can
be used almost universally as a totally adverse-reaction-free, modern relaxation
and suggestion method and as prophylaxis and during therapeutic measures.
Its proven favourable influence on the whole psychophysical balance of
the user has widespread consequences besides the individual benefit: The
deep suggestion helps to save costs. Therefore this method offers a worthwhile
service for our health care.
