Franz Anton Mesmer Research Paper
Biography
Franz Anton Mesmer Mesmer is a physician of the German descent who created therapeutics, also known as mesmerism. Hypnotism and its practice was the forerunner. In the year 1775, animal gravitation was created and revised by the genius himself. This theory was compared to that of animal magnetism. Animal magnetism allowed fluid not able to be seen inside the human act as magnets.His thought was that the tidal influences of all 9 universes can operate in a force that relates to the forcer of the galaxy. In the eyes of Mesmer's body,animal magnetism could be started by any object that is magnetizable and triggered by a person that is trained. The mastermind invented many treatments through therapeutics …show more content…
Hypnosis and trance states are fundamental human traits,which have been around for as long as humanity itself. Speaking of “ancient hypnotherapy”, since most of the suggestive historical examples we have concern magical practices, rather than healing per se. As a young man, Mesmer studied theology and law before moving on to medicine. As he approached his forties, he found himself increasingly dissatisfied with the approach to medicine. Mesmer’s dedication to his was absolutely amazing and he really enjoyed a slightly more delicate approach. Returning to his theories of his student days, Mesmer effected a cure by, as he saw it, using a magnet to disrupt the gravitational tides adversely affecting his patient. From a modern perspective, the results were produced by the hypnotic suggestion of a fluid draining from the body. This is a wonderful healing metaphor that wouldn’t be out of place in a 21st century hypnotherapy practice. Mesmer was irrevocably brought into disrepute when a royal commission was appointed to investigate his findings. Nevertheless, Mesmer’s legacy persisted, into the nineteenth century and beyond, as arguments over his techniques shaped the development of hypnosis as we know it
