Franz Mesmer developed the concept of hypnotism in the late 18th century as part of his exploration of what he called "animal magnetism," a theory suggesting that a natural magnetic fluid existed in the body and could be manipulated to promote healing. He believed that by inducing a trance-like state, he could align this fluid and restore balance, thereby alleviating various ailments. His work laid the foundation for modern hypnotism and opened avenues for psychological exploration and treatment.
