Modern hypnosis can be traced back to the 18th century and during
this period mesmerism, as it was then known, was a healing practice
which spread throughout Europe and North America. Since then
hypnosis has been treated primarily as a psychological phenomenon
and theories about hypnosis are grounded in mainstream psychology
and its related disciplines. Most recently it has been subject to
extensive clinical trials to investigate its therapeutic
effectiveness. In their comprehensive introduction to this
invaluable collection the editors trace the historical development
of hypnosis, providing an excellent review of the theories that
have tried to explain how hypnosis works and reflecting on the
cultural and scientific attitudes and practices that prevailed at
various times. They have selected the most important previously
published papers that reveal how a scientific approach to
understanding hypnosis as a psychological phenomenon has emerged
over the last 70 years. They have also included a selection of
reports on clinical applications and on legal and forensic issues.
As such this volume will prove an invaluable reference resource for
researchers and students already in the field and new scholars
interested in learning more about hypnosis.
