When did the practice of hypnosis begin?
There are two main thoughts about the origins of the use of hypnosis. First off hypnosis is really just getting a person into a certain brainwave, or state of mind. It is a natural state and we are in hypnosis just before we go to sleep, and when we first wake up. Also when we "daydream" we are in a state of hypnosis. So to use that analogy, some say the origins go back to Ancient Egypt during the reign of Ramses the XII. However really, if one says hypnosis is a certain state of mind then we can go back much further because sitting around a campfire and chanting or beating a drum will put you in that state also. However, as far as modern day hypnosis we can go right to Franz Mesmer (1734-1815). Mesmer is where we get the term "mesmerized" today. Mesmer treated patients in groups and individually and had a lot of success in doing so. One could say that he is the founding father of modern hypnotherapy.
