Thomas Email: [email protected] Without Abstract Basic Biographical Information Mesmer (1734-1815) was born in Iznang on the German shore of Lake Constance. Mesmer's secondary education was in Jesuit schools, and his post-secondary education continued at the Jesuit universities in Dilligen and Ingolstadt. Pursuing a theological degree, Mesmer was exposed to rationalism which led him to question Catholicism and away from theology. The years 1755-1759 are unaccounted for in Mesmer's life, and some sources report that he earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1759. That claim was included in the title page of his medical dissertation (see facsimile in Pattie 2004, p. 14). However, Pattie, a reliable Mesmerian scholar, concluded that it was likely "self-conferred" (p. 15). In 1759, Mesmer began studying law in Vienna, but he soon abandoned law to study medicine. He earned a medical doctorate in Vienna in 1766, and his medical dissertation was Dissertatio physico-medica de planetarum influx. The dissertation presented a theoretical argument that gravitation could influence the body and that gravitational tides in the body could be manipulated to treat disease.

Furthermore, the nineteenth-century interest in the somnambulist was provoked by what the figure represented and revealed to the Victorians: namely, themselves. The sleepwalker represented the hidden potential within the self for either greatness or deviance, or, more mundanely, simply a fuller existence than consciousness has an awareness of. Sleepwalking writ large the multi-layered self at a time when the self—by psychiatry and society at large—was being accepted as increasingly multivalent.

Is trance one thing or many things? A regression to a pathological, primitive state or ascent to an elevated state? Noisy or quiet? Biological or social? Meditation researchers, hypnosis researchers, and anthropologists (interested in phenomena like shamanism and spirit possession) have all, historically, struggled with questions like these in surprisingly similar ways.

  • An Introduction to the History of Hypnotism and Hypnotherapy
    An introduction to the history of hypnotism and hypnotherapy In this article I have sought to put together a potted history of hypnotism and hypnotherapy through the ages. The key events and people who played the most important roles in the discoveries and developments of what has become today’s hypnotherapy treatments are the main focus of this essay. I hope this may give interested people more of an insight and understanding into the world of Hypnotherapy The early days Primitive societies used hypnotic phenomena throughout the ages for spiritual beliefs. Tribal drama and rituals, e.g. dances have been a part of many societies around the globe. This rhythmic pattern greatly assisted the participants to make the transition into a trance like state. Shamanistic rituals have played a very large part in tribal cultures around the world and there are still many cultures today where shamanism is actively practised. Shamanism is also practised in the west and has gained some credibility in most notably the new age movement. In ancient tribal cultures the shaman was the most respected member of the tribe because it was believed that not only could he commune with the spirit world and receive direct sacred knowledge that other members of the tribal community were unable to receive, but it was also believed he had special curative magical powers that could not only produce magical healings and changes in state, but he could also guide the rest of the tribe into a hypnotic state where they could also commune with the spirit world and experience a different reality.

London: Kimpkin, Maksiiall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., Limited 18'Jl. B\r UA\ JOHN' WRIGHT AND CO., PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, BRISTOL. PEEFACE. At the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association, held in Birmingham, in July, 1890, I read before the Psychological Section a short paper on " Hypnotic Suggestion," and in conjunction with my friend Dr. Tuckey, gave a demonstration of some of the phenomena of hypnotism. One result of the discussion which followed was the appointment of a Committee to examine the whole subject. Another outcome, however, was a very widespread desire on- the part of the medical profession for fuller information, so that individual observers might at once put the claims of hypnotism to the test. This little volume is intended to meet the demand of such inquirers. It has no pretension to do more than acquaint its readers with the rudiments oj practical therapeutic hypnotisnij and to warn them against its dangers and difficulties. Our knowledge of the theoretic side of the subject is as yet so scanty, that I have not ventured to thai iv PREFACE. with it.

NOTE to the Reader (1) This is the sixth of six interconnected articles—the first two were published in the Journal’s “Autumn 2018” issue (which, due to unavoidable delays, was not released until February 2019). (2) Due to the complexities of the source material involved, and the consequences of a number of unavoidable delays, the (originally proposed) set of four articles were subsequently expanded to six—the remaining four articles (including this one) were published in the “Spring 2018” issue of the Journal (which, again, due to unavoidable delays, was not released until late March 2020). (3) The entire set of six articles are part of a composite whole (i.e., rather than an associated set of six otherwise independent items). (4) From this, the reader is strongly advised to read each of the six articles in the sequence they have been presented. The articles were specifically written on the embedded assumption that each reader would dutifully do so (with the consequence that certain matters, theories, practices, and concepts are developed sequentially as the narrative proceeds).

  • William Hughes, That Devil's Trick: Hypnotism and the Victorian Popular Imagination. Manchester: Manchester University Press
    Victorian Popular Fictions Volume 1: Issue 1 (Spring 2019) William Hughes, That Devil’s Trick: Hypnotism and the Victorian Popular Imagination. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2015 (2018), 256 pp. Hb £70, ISBN: 978-0719074837; Pb £15.99 ISBN: 978-1-5261-2714-3 Matthew Crofts That Devil’s Trick: Hypnotism and the Victorian Popular Imagination by William Hughes made the welcome leap to paperback last year. Hughes acts as a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and detailed guide through the complex topic of the perception of magnetism and mesmerism, taking the time to explain each figure or practice as they become significant. In this volume, magnetism “is regarded as being unavoidably integral” to hypnotism (Hughes 2018: 13), whereas the two are often regarded as distinct techniques. The successive accounts of magnetists and hypnotists distancing themselves from their forebears, extolling the virtues of their own techniques, before being discredited or falling out of fashion begins to feel like an epic saga. I would draw particular attention to the subtitle as the “Victorian Popular Imagination” forms as great a part of this study as hypnotism itself. It is a great example of an interdisciplinary book that deals with science, medical practice, as well as popular fiction’s depictions of it. Hughes lays out the approach he has adopted in That Devil’s Trick in the book’s introduction, emphasising his use of “popular accounts” as opposed to relying just on “those derived from clinical publications” (14). Incorporating a breadth research, using not only examples from newspapers and journals, but also advertisements, the bibliography alone is worth the price of admission for anyone interested in the response to hypnotism.
