hypnotismn.

Brit.

/ˈhɪpnətɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈhɪpnəˌtɪzəm/

Etymology: < hypnot- (in hypnotic adj. and n.) + -ism suffix. This word is due to Dr. James Braid of Manchester, who in 1842 introduced the term neuro-hypnotism for ‘the state or condition of nervous sleep’, and in 1843 used the shortened form hypnotism, when the context made the sense plain.

1. The process of hypnotizing, or artificially producing a state in which the subject appears to be in a deep sleep, without any power of changing his mental or physical condition, except under the influence of some external suggestion or direction, to which he is involuntarily and unconsciously obedient. On recovering from this condition, the person has usually no remembrance of what he has said or done during the hypnotic state. The term is also applied to the branch of science which deals with the production of this state, and its causes and phenomena. See braidism n., mesmerism n.The usual way of inducing the state consists in causing a person to look fixedly, for several minutes, with complete concentration of the attention, at a bright or conspicuous object placed above and in front of the eyes at so short a distance that the convergence of the optic axes can only be accomplished with effort.
