A History of Hypnotism (Paperback, Revised)

Dr. Gauld has written a detailed and scholarly history of the phenomena, practice, and theory of mesmerism, hypnotism, and multiple personality disorders. The book traces the development of mesmerism and hypnotism and those who were influential in its use and acceptance as a scientific method. It considers the theories that developed to explain the phenomena and the uses and abuses of the technique in medical practice. Throughout the book, case histories and anecdotal accounts provide a fascinating insight into this controversial subject. In his epilogue, Gauld discusses the modern-day approach to hypnotism and multiple personality disorders and the role of hypnotism in clinical practice and in the understanding of the psychiatric state. A History of Hypnotism is a wide-ranging and detailed history of the mesmeric and hypnotic movements and will be an essential work of reference in this field.
