Hipnosis y autohipnosis
Aquí hallará interpretaciones y aplicaciones de uno de los fenómenos más sugestivos y misteriosos que nos hace cuestionar nuestras certezas y nos pone en condiciones de poder superar límites considerados insuperables. Explicar en profundidad el estado hipnótico implicaría explicar qué es el alma, cómo funciona y cómo actúa. Como consecuencia de ello, cualquier análisis detallado del «momento hipnótico» es siempre restringido y puramente personal, aunque también es cierto que la hipnosis es una realidad que se caracteriza por los cambios del estado de conciencia. Existen pruebas irrefutables de determinadas y repetidas reacciones neurofisiológicas que se revelan a través de sofisticados aparatos, pero lo que en ellos se mide es su aspecto último, aquel de carácter fisiológico, y la hipnosis es, sin duda, otra cosa... Escrita por una gran experto, esta obra es un modo de acercarse a las infinitas potencialidades que ofrece de nuestra mente, a través de sencillos ejercicios que permitan pasar de la teoría a la práctica.

“Spreading the word of the master”: the contribution of Italian physicians in the early dissemination of Jean-Martin Charcot’s theories
Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893) laid the foundations of modern neurology. The lectures he gave at La Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris attracted a large number of visitors from all over the world. Some of them transcribed these clinical lessons, translating and publishing them when returning home. This article discusses the contribution of some Italian physicians (Gaetano Rummo, 1853–1917; Domenico Miliotti; Giulio Melotti, 1857–19?; and Augusto Tebaldi, 1833–1895), who were pioneers in disseminating the ideas and discoveries of Charcot. The early Italian translations were based on personal handwritten notes and memories, not relying on official French versions personally revised or edited by Charcot himself. As such, their veracity cannot always be verified, particularly in the lack of other independent works reporting details on the same lectures. However, the Italian transcriptions providing information which cannot be found elsewhere in Charcot’s corpus of works represent an invaluable and a unique source for fully understanding some theories by the French neurologist. Furthermore, they are the first documents providing original materials related to Charcot’s teaching translated in a foreign language. The first Italian publications that included photographs of patients were deeply influenced by and clearly modeled on the famous volumes of the Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière and further contributed to the early dissemination of Charcot’s theories.

James Braid (I): Natural philosopher, structured thinker, gentleman scientist, and innovative surgeon
James Braid (1795-1860), the natural philosopher, gentleman scientist, the inquisitive and sagacious, structured thinker, the safe, innovative, and efficacious surgeon-renowned for his personal character, range of surgical skills, and overall clinical excellence (especially in the treatment of dangerous and difficult forms of disease, and the correction of deformities such as club-foot, spinal curvature, knock knees, bandy legs, squint, etc.)-the early adopter (and advocate) of ether anaesthesia and, significantly, the originator of scientific hypnotism and the intentional use of structured suggestion has, to a large extent, been written out of history. This article examines Braid's schooling, his apprenticeship as both surgeon and apothecary, his university training, and his interactions with colleagues; and how these, combined with his scientific and intellectual interests, and his professional challenges, came together in Mr. James Braid, surgeon (aged 46)-the 'right man' at the 'right time'-who encountered Charles Lafontaine, in Manchester, in November 1841.

James Braid (II): Mesmerism, Braid's crucial experiment, and Braid's discovery of neuro-hypnotism
James Braid (1795-1860), natural philosopher, gentleman scientist, and inquisitive, sagacious, structured thinker, was an established and well-respected Manchester surgeon when, on 13 November 1841, he attended a conversazione on animal magnetism. This article provides details of his encounter with the magnetic demonstrator Charles Lafontaine, the immediate aftermath of that encounter, and Braid's experimentum crucis, which not only refuted Lafontaine's claims of magnetic agency, but also led to Braid's discovery of neuro-hypnotism. It also describes Braid's initial set of public lectures, within which he not only revealed and demonstrated the physical (rather than metaphysical) secrets of Lafontaine's procedures, but also disseminated his own preliminary discoveries and theoretical explanations in what were the initial, rudimentary stages of his establishment of hypnotism as an entirely autonomous domain of philosophical and medico-scientific inquiry.

On: From psychical treatment to psychoanalysis
The argument against Fichtner's dating is that Freud would have had no reason to write about hypnosis and suggestion after his 1895 chapter 'Psychotherapy of Hysteria' where he stated: ''The problem was, however, how to bypass hypnosis and yet obtain the pathogenic recollection\" (Freud, 1895, p. 268), which led him to work with ''the chain of associations\" (p. 271), which he completed in 1900. The argument for suggesting an earlier publication of the 1905 essay is based on locating it in the period during which Freud published the following works dealing with hypnosis and suggestion: - In 1888 and 1888-1889, Freud discussed Bernheim's method of hypnosis and suggestion (Freud, 1888, Freud, 1888-89); - In 1889 he wrote a long review of Forel's book on hypnosis (Freud, 1889); - In 1891 the entry hypnosis in Bum's Lexikon (Freud, 1891); - 1n 1892 a lecture on 'Hypnosis and suggestion' (Freud, 1892); - In 1892-1893 A case of successful treatment by hypnotism.

'A PORTION OF TRUTH': DEMARCATING THE BOUNDARIES OF SCIENTIFIC HYPNOTISM IN LATE NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRANCE
In fin-de-siècle France, hypnotism enjoyed an unprecedented level of medico-scientific legitimacy. Researchers studying hypnotism had nonetheless to manage relations between their new 'science' and its widely denigrated precursor, magnétisme animal, because too great a resemblance between the two could damage the reputation of 'scientific' hypnotism. They did so by engaging in the rhetorical activity of boundary-work. This paper analyses such demarcation strategies in major texts from the Salpêtrière and Nancy Schools – the rival groupings that dominated enquiry into hypnotism in the 1880s. Researchers from both Schools depicted magnétisme as 'unscientific' by emphasizing the magnetizers' tendency to interpret phenomena in wondrous or supernatural terms. At the same time, they acknowledged and recuperated the 'portions of truth' hidden within the phantasmagoria of magnétisme; these 'portions' function as positive facts in the texts on hypnotism, immutable markers of an underlying natural order that accounts for similarities between phenomena of magnétisme and hypnotism. If this strategy allows for both continuities and discontinuities between the two fields, it also constrains the scope for theoretical speculation about hypnotism, as signalled, finally, by a reading of one fictional study of the question, Anatole France's 'Monsieur Pigeonneau'.
