1889 Alternative Bottom Hypnosis Illustrated Influence Lithograph Medicine Patient Placing Practical Psychology Releasing William Davey Hypnotism
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1889, titled "Hypnosis: Placing patient under the influence of hypnotism, top, and releasing him from that influence, bottom" is a fascinating glimpse into the world of alternative medicine and psychology during the late 19th century. Created by William Davey for his renowned book "The Illustrated Practical Mesmerist" this print showcases the mesmerizing power of hypnosis. In the top half of the lithograph, we witness a skilled practitioner placing a patient under deep hypnotic influence. The intense focus in their eyes suggests an otherworldly connection between them as they delve into the depths of consciousness. This depiction highlights both the mystery and potential therapeutic benefits associated with hypnosis. Contrasting with this entranced state is the bottom half of the image where we see the same patient being released from their hypnotic spell. As if awakening from a dream, their expression transforms to one of relief and clarity. This transformation symbolizes how hypnosis can be used to alleviate various psychological ailments or simply provide relaxation. As we examine this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how our understanding and application of medicine has evolved over time. While some may view hypnosis skeptically even now, there is no denying its enduring allure and ongoing exploration within modern psychology.
