Historical Overview of Hypnotism

Hypnotic or suggestive therapy has been used as a healing technique since the beginning of history. It was of prime importance in the "sleep temples" of Ancient Greece, which were places of pilgrimage and healing.

In the Middle Ages belief in miraculous cures associated with religious shrines was widespread. Healing was brought about by touch and prayer.

During the 18th century the theory of "Magnetism" was developed. Franz Anton Mesmer argued that the planets influenced mankind through their magnetic effects on the "fluid" which occupied all space. He discovered that he could induce people into a trance-like state and concluded that he himself must be a kind of magnet, hence the term "Animal Magnetism". This idea was soon discredited by a French Royal Commission, which found that the magnetic fluids did not exist. James Braid re-examined Mesmerism in the 19th century and reached similar conclusions. It was he who coined the term "hypnosis" for the induction of a trance-like state through simple suggestion.

In the early part of the 20th century hypnosis was used almost exclusively by stage hypnotists, thereby projecting a hopelessly distorted view of the very powerful therapeutic tool. However, in 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis in medical school education, and in 1958 it was recognized by the American Medical Association as a healing modality. Since then hypnotism has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment

About the National Guild of Hypnotists

The National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational corporation in the State of New Hampshire. Founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1951 the Guild is a professional organization comprised of dedicated individuals committed to advancing the field of hypnotism. We provide an open forum for the free exchange of ideas concerning hypnotism. The Guild is a resource for members and a vehicle for legal and legislative action.

The Ngh was established in 1951 by an enthusiastic group of hypnotists and Dr. Rexford L. North, Director of the Hypnotism Center of Boston, MA. Within a short time, local chapters were formed and operating in many major cities throughout the US and Canada. Important resources through the years have been The Journal of Hypnotism and The Hypno-Gram, the very first publications devoted exclusively to the field of hypnotism. The national guild now has members in 58 different countries and is considered to be the largest hypnosis body in the world.

This unique organization continues to encourage an eclectic exchange of ideas, fellowship, mutual trust and cooperation among members - while promoting and protecting the art, science and philosophy of hypnotism. As President and Executive Director, Dr. Dwight F. Damon has made it his mission to do everything possible to have our field recognized as a separate and distinct profession..

FACTS AND FALLACIES ABOUT HYPNOSIS

Top of page

Around the subject of hypnosis has accumulated a mass of misinformation. Here are some of the most common fallacies concerning hypnosis and the facts based on the best medical and psychological authorities and many years of study and practical experience.

FALLACY: Hypnotism is of the occult or supernatural
FACT: Hypnotism is scientific. It is not supernatural or of the occult, but a purely natural manifestation of the powers of the mind. People enter hypnosis many times a day, awake or asleep, watching TV, driving, reading or daydreaming.

FALLACY: A hypnotist, with the use of soothing words and soft music simply lulls clients off to sleep.
FACT: In the state of hypnosis the conscious mind is completely relaxed and rested but not asleep. Whereas in sleep the conscious mind is to some extent tense and alert.

FALLACY: Weak willed people make the best clients.
FACT: The best hypnotic clients are people with strong wills and above average intelligence. Hypnosis actually has nothing to do with the will: it depends upon imagination, a faculty that is vastly stronger than the will. Therefore bright imaginative people make by far the best clients.

FALLACY: Only a small portion of the population can be hypnotized.
FACT: 90-95% of adults can be hypnotized to some degree. Some people respond more rapidly than others. In an average group, enjoying their first experience with hypnosis, about 1 in 5 will promptly enter a deep enough trances to get used by a stage hypnotist. There are two classes of people who cannot be hypnotized 1) the insane and 2) infants that are too Young to understand the words of the operator.

FALLACY: Very few people can hypnotize.
FACT: Any normally intelligent person can learn to hypnotize. BUT this does not mean that everyone should. Just as some make better doctors than others, or better golfers, so some make better hypnotists. Moreover, success in this skill, as in any other, demands intense study and practice. Not many will pay the price of mastery: 200 hours and internship.

FALLACY: The essence of hypnotism is that the operator's will "dominates" That of the client.
FACT: There is no "domination" or "submission' in hypnosis. The Hypnotist actually helps the client to release and express his or her own latent or hidden abilities. E.G. A man unaccustomed to speaking in public can when hypnotized, speak fluently to an audience of thousands. He already had the ability to do this, but suppressed it with his own doubts and fears; And the hypnotist releases that ability. A teacher of elocution could do the Same, but would take months to do it. Hypnosis produces a desired result Quickly.

FALLACY: A person can be hypnotized against his will.
FACT: For all practical purposes, a person must consent to do this before he can be induced to enter the state. However, the spoken word does not always indicate the real desire. A skeptic, loudly denying the possibility of hypnosis might have an unspoken wish to experience it, or vice versa. (We who trained at the meridian institute have signed an oath of human dignity and privacy and are required to ask permission to hypnotize.)

FALLACY: The hypnotist has absolute control over the client's mind and body.
FACT: This is the most absurd and injurious of all the fallacies concerning hypnosis. NO hypnotist can make anyone do or say anything contrary to their deep-rooted principles. A girl who perhaps would not normally be seen on the dance floor, in hypnosis, may cast off her inhibitions and dance a vigorous twist. But a normally modest girl certainly could not be made to disrobe completely in front of any person, including the hypnotist. Any suggestion that arouses sincere moral indignation or repugnance immediately causes the client to break the trance, by coming out of it. Thus hypnosis is not an anesthetic that renders the person helpless. It is a means of releasing and intensifying a person's own powers and abilities.

FALLACY: Hypnotherapy requires a deep trance.
FACT: Hypnosis has many therapeutic uses, but results do not depend on the depth of trance. Some nervous disorders may be completely cured in the lightest state of trance while another client with the same complaint may need a deeper level of trance to receive the same benefits.

FALLACY: A client may not awaken after hypnosis.
FACT: There is not the slightest danger of this. If the client were left to himself, he would fall into an ordinary sleep and awaken normally.

FALLACY: Hypnosis is dangerous.
FACT: An automobile is not in itself dangerous, food is not dangerous, and tranquilizers are not dangerous. But if misused those things can all be dangerous? Hypnotism in the hands of an amateur can be dangerous, but when used properly, by a properly trained practitioner is perfectly safe.

FALLACY: A person knows nothing when he is hypnotized.
FACT: In light and medium levels of hypnosis the client is fully aware of what is being said and done. He may actually deny that he was hypnotized at all. Even in deep trance you are able to hear all that is happening.

FALLACY: Orthodox medicine condemns hypnotism.
FACT: The American (June 1958) and Canadian and British ((April 23, 1955) Medical associations accepted the therapeutic value of hypnosis. Hypnosis is used in dentistry and by surgeons to produce a drugless state of anesthesia without anxiety or suffering by the client. Many orthodox psychologists and psychiatrists use hypnosis today. The Mayo clinic has been using hypnosis as an adjunct to anesthesia and has a result have never had a death attributed to the anesthetic.

FALLACY: Hypnotherapy requires many lengthy sessions.
FACT: With many patients, complete relief can be obtained in a very short time. On some occasions only a couple of sessions are needed, most require several.
