	Hypnosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The evolution of Mesmer's ideas and practices led James Braid (1795-1860) to coin the term and develop the procedure known as hypnosis in 1842.
		Braid developed his ideas over time, down-playing his early idea of nervous sleep and increasing the role of psychological factors rather than fatigue.
		Many hypnotherapists refer to their practice as "clinical work." Hypnotherapy can either be used as an addition to the work of licensed physicians or psychologists, or it can be used in a stand-alone environment where the hypnotherapist in question usually owns his or her own business.

	Hypnotopia - hypnotherapy, fast and life-changing healing.
		Although this state of mind was not labelled until the early 19th Century, when a British physician named James Braid coined the term after using it clinically for the purposes of anaesthesia, it was still used prior to this point even if the practitioners using it were not aware of the ‘hows and whys’.
		James Braid gave this state of mind the name ‘hypnosis’, derived from the Greek word for sleep, and quickly thereafter tried to change the name to ‘monodeism’ when he established that it was entirely different from sleeping.
		It was because of the stigma of being associated with Mesmer that James Braid coined a new term, wholly unconnected with Mesmer.

		Braid wrote later: "I considered that to be a real phenomenon, and was anxious to discover the physiological cause of it.

		In 1841, Dr. James Braid, a physician, coined the word "hypnosis" from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep.
		Sometime later, Dr. Braid discovered he'd made a mistake - his patients, when "hypnotized", were not really asleep.
		Although he tried to change the word to more accurately describe this state, the term "hypnosis" had already become established, and unfortunately, the idea still persists that a person is asleep when in a hypnotic state.

	Therapy Information
		Doctor Braid rejected the many supernatural theories around in his time and instead coined the term 'hypnotism' to designate a more scientific, psychological explanation of trance.
		Few people realise this, but 'hypnotism' is actually an abbreviation of the word 'neuro-hypnotism', meaning 'sleep of the nervous system.' Braid chose this word to express his concept of a trance as a kind of deep, mental fatigue or relaxation similar to the drowsy state that occurs when falling asleep.
		Braid's method, then, is the oldest method of hypnosis, and is usually called "Braidism" or the "eye-fixation" technique.

		James Braid, a 19th Century English physician, gave us the name "hypnotism" because the people he mesmerized appeared to be asleep.
		While a physician, psychologist, or licensed mental health practitioner may be qualified to diagnose or "label" the cause of someone's problem, the hypnotherapist should avoid doing so.
		The disclosure must include a statement that the therapist is not a licensed physician, that the session is complementary to healing arts services licensed by the state, and that the therapist's services are not licensed by the state.

		Later in the 19th century, John Elliotson and James Esdaile, among others, reported the successful use of mesmeric somnambulism as an anesthetic for surgery (although ether and chloroform soon proved to be more reliably effective).

		Franz Mesmer was the 18th-century German physician who believed the human body contained an intangible fluid subject to the laws of magnetism.
		This powerful force had the potential, according to Mesmer, to be activated by a magnetized object and then manipulated by a trained person in order to ensure its harmonious flow.
		Half a century after Mesmer, Braid performed his own experiments, concluded there was no indiscernible fluid, and deduced that the suggestive state resembling sleep is induced by the fatigue that comes from concentrated staring at an inanimate object.
