Brief history

of hypnosis

 

Modern hypnotherapy and hypnotism dates

back to the times of Franz Anton Mesmer, a physician in Paris around the 1780's who used a combination of magnets and suggestion to cure many ailments (from this is derived the term 'mesmerised').

 

In the 1800's a Scottish surgeon called James Braid, was the person who coined the word, hypnosis.

 

In the early 1900's Sigmund Freud

dabbled with hypnosis.

 

Milton H. Erickson a famous Psychotherapist used Hypnosis for 60 years, seeing up to 14 clients a day.

 

In 1955 the British Medical Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis in Medical School education, since then it has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment.

 
 

 

 

 

Train to be a Professional Hypnotherapist.

 

If you are interested in hypnotherapy training, take a look at the

UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) website which includes information on UKCP-accredited training schools.

 

The National School of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (N-SHAP) offers training in Ericksonian hypno-psychotherapy. This is a newer form of hypnotherapy that is very natural, pleasant and highly effective. Unlike older forms of hypnotherapy, there are no standard treatments. Therapy is designed around you – your own interests and goals. This means that you are in effect designing your own solutions, ones that are more readily accepted by your mind.

 

Details of the next N-SHAP training courses (in London and Cambridge) can be found on the N-SHAP website. For more information about the 2009 London course, including details of what the course involves and how to apply, please feel free to contact me.
