What is the evolution of hypnosis?
The history of hypnosis is as ancient as that of sorcery, magic, and medicine; indeed, hypnosis has been used as a method in all three. Its scientific history began in the latter part of the 18th century with Franz Mesmer, a German physician who used hypnosis in the treatment of patients in Vienna and Paris.
The origin of hypnosis?
Hypnosis was created by the Austrian physician Franz Anton Mesmer in the late 18th century. Mesmer believed that hysteria was created by a poor distribution of magnetic fluid in the body, and that this fluid could be made to distribute properly. Mesmer would have his patient sit in a dark room and take rods that have soaked in different chemicals and touch the afflicted parts of the patients. The rods were thought to adjust the magnetic fluid in each of their bodies. Later, Mesmer enhanced this practice by not using the rods and simply looking at his patients instead. This is were we get the word mesmerize, used in hypnosis.

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.
