Hypnosis goes mainstream
Clark Hull
Hull’s 1933 book Hypnosis and Sensibility is considered to be the genesis of the
modern study of hypnosis. It was his extensive research, as laid out on this
book, which finally put to bed the belief that hypnosis was just another sleep
stage. Hull’s work also debunked the claims of stage hypnotists and their
insistence that traditional hypnosis could lead to increased capacity in any
number of human functions. While Hull agreed that hypnosis had some
applications to healing, he put to bed the hucksterism until then, associated with
the science of hypnosis. This represents a legitimization of hypnosis as a
medical therapy and its entry into the mainstream of society.
Early approval in the medical community
It wasn’t until 1952 that the British Hypnotism Act legislated to regulate the
indiscriminate use of hypnosis as a public entertainment. This put its
practitioners on notice that their claims of miracle cures would no longer be
tolerated. This, in turn, led to another important milestone in the history of
hypnosis, which was approval by the British Medical Association of 1955. The
BMA approved the use of hypnosis for the treatment of neuroses, as well as its
use as an analgesic during childbirth and for the management of other types of
pain. Concurrently, the British Medical Association mandated the study of


hypnosis as part of doctor training and certification.
Developments in England were closely followed by approval on the part of the
American Medical Association, in 1958, for the use of hypnosis in a variety of
treatments. The AMA was somewhat more cautious in its approval, though,
pointing to various aspects of hypnosis that were, in the Association’s
estimation, to be approached with caution. Only two years later, the American
Psychological Association endorsed the practice of hypnosis as a branch
discipline of Psychology.
Then, in 1961, André Weitzenhoffer and Ernest Hilgard developed the Stanford
Scales. This tool allowed clinicians to measure patient susceptibility to
hypnosis. The scales were broken down by demographic markers, including age
and gender.
