The discovery of magnetic sleep―an artificially induced trance-like state―in 1784 marked the beginning of the modern era of psychological healing. Magnetic sleep revealed a realm of mental activity that was not available to the conscious mind but could affect conscious thought and action. This book tells the story of the discovery of magnetic sleep and its relationship to psychotherapy.Adam Crabtree describes how in the 1770s Franz Anton Mesmer developed a technique based on "animal magnetism," which he felt could cure a wide variety of ailments when the healer directed "magnetic fluid" through the body of the sufferer. In 1784 Mesmer's pupil the marquis de Puysegur attempted to heal a patient with this method and discovered that animal magnetism could also be used to induce a trance in the subject that revealed a second consciousness quite distinct from the normal waking state. Puysegur's discovery of an alternate consciousness was taken up and elaborated by practitioners and thinkers for the next hundred years. Crabtree traces the history of the discovery of animal magnetism, shows how it was brought to bear on physical healing, and explains its relationship to paranormal phenomena, hypnotism, psychological healing, and the diagnosis and investigation of dissociative phenomena such as multiple personality. He documents how the systematic investigation of alternate consciousness reached its height in the 1880s and 1890s, fell into neglect with the appearance of psychoanalysis, and is now experiencing renewed attention as a treatment for multiple personality disorders that may arise from childhood sexual abuse.

Franz Anton Mesmer (May 23, 1734 - March 5, 1815) sometimes incorrectlyreferred to as Friedrich Anton Mesmer, was a German physician with an interest in astronomy, who theorised that there was a natural energetic transference that occurred between all animated and inanimate objects that he called animal magnetism, sometimes later referred to as mesmerism. The theory attracted a wide following between about 1780 and 1850, and continued to have some influence until the end of the century; it is now almost entirely forgotten. In 1843 the Scottish physician James Braid proposed the term hypnosis for a technique derived from animal magnetism; today this is the usual meaning of mesmerism.

Dust jacket notes: "Franz Anton Mesmer, the architect of modern hypnotism, is on eof the most controversial and fascinating figures in medical and scientific history. He has been considered a quack and a charlatan and, on ther other hand, as the true father of psychotherapy. In this absorbing account of Mesmer's life and career, James Wyckoff shows that his significance rests on far more important ground than the development of Mesmerism and points to the fact that Mesmer's ideas - now known as bio-energy and group therapy - are being turned to once again. Early in his study of medicine, Mesmer suggested that the sun, moon, and planets might have a direct influence on human bodies by way of a subtle fluid - and that when this force, a kind of universal energy, exerts itself, fluid expands and contracts the nervous system. Although this theory received little attention at the time, it was the forerunner of 'animal magnetism' - a practice that brought Mesmer public success and adoration and professional notoriety. Mesmer achieved remarkable cures of functional disorders with animal magnetism, but was sharply criticized by those who misunderstood him. Expelled from the Medical Faculty in Vienna, he fled to Paris and became the rage of the city and the entire country. Yet once again his ideas were rejected by the medical establishment and Mesmer was forced to return to his native land...."

With wit and verve Robin Waterfield brings the bizarre story of hypnotism to life. A lively mixture of popular history, science and psychology, Hidden Depths is the definitive work on hypnosis. From its origins as animal magnetism, as practised by Franz Anton Mesmer, to its modern-day use as a health cure and a form of entertainment, hypnosis has always been controversial. The outlandish claims that its zealous believers make are only matched in intensity by the howls of derision that they provoke from sceptics.
