Where Did Hypnosis Originate?
The basics of hypnosis go back to ancient times. Those who have read Jean Auel's memorable book, "Clan Of The Cave Bear," will remember accounts of magic, healing, inherited memories and revelations performed or created by the "Mogurs" and "medicine women" of prehistoric clans. Hypnosis, in the early centuries of our own land, the medicine men of Indian tribes performed seeming miracles. Hypnosis, Wider, non-secret usage began in the 1700's in several forms under different names.
In the middle of the 19th century a Scottish doctor named James Braid published a book called Neurhypnology or the Study of Nervous Sleep. He invented the word neurhypnosis from which the word hypnosis originated.
There were periods of progress and periods of stagnation in the development of modern hypnosis. Medical interest and acceptance expanded following World War II when the use of hypnotherapy proved especially helpful to surviving battlefield casualties suffering from shock, injury, battle fatigue and various psychological disorders.
Today Hypnosis is recognized by the mainstream medical profession as a valuable and effective treatment for so many conditions.
