In a study of 37 participants with 81 phobias, hypnotically-facilitated "past life" and/or "in-between lives" (interlives) reports of people with simple and social phobias and agoraphobia were examined when they appeared to be phobia-related. In addition, earlier experiences in some participants' (present) lives that they believed had caused their phobias were examined with the participants in hypnosis. Two research questions guided the study: (1) were there any significantly phobia-differentiating patterns in the past life or interlife reports? and (2) was accessing these past life and/or interlife reports therapeutic? Both questions were examined. Two consistent patterns were found that differentiated simple (and possibly social) phobia from agoraphobia; these reach significance (p =.005) and may lead to questioning the statement "past life and interlife reports are fantasies." Additionally, the therapeutic effects, defined as the degree to which anxiety symptoms were reduced, were assessed by two self-rated pre- and post-treatment scales derived from the DSM-III-R (1987) diagnostic scale for phobia symptoms. Reduction in symptoms reached significance for those participants reporting past lives or interlives as causal of their phobias but did not reach significance for those reporting earlier-in-life experiences only as causal. A comparison of some elements of this study with Stevenson's findings about young children who consciously claim to remember prior lives is included, as is a discussion of the ways in which past life reports might fit within some theories of psychology, especially behaviorist, humanistic, and transpersonal psychologies.
