EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the mesmerizing moment of Dr. Hippolyte Bernheim, known as Luys, conducting a hypnotic demonstration at La Charité Hospital in Paris, circa 1886. The image transports us back in time to an era when the paranormal and altered states of consciousness were subjects of great fascination and intrigue. Dr. Bernheim, a pioneering figure in the field of hypnosis, is seen here in the prime of his career, surrounded by an attentive audience. The setting, a hospital ward, underscores the growing recognition of hypnosis as a legitimate medical tool for treating various conditions. The subject of the hypnotic session, a young woman with an expression of deep concentration, is shown with her eyes closed, her hands folded in her lap. Her altered state is evident in her relaxed posture and the tranquil expression on her face. The atmosphere in the room is one of focused intensity, as Dr. Bernheim delves into the depths of the human mind, harnessing the power of suggestion and the mysteries of the subconscious. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of hypnosis and its role in the exploration of the human psyche. It serves as a reminder of the captivating allure of the unknown and the enduring fascination with the power of the mind to transcend its ordinary limits. The image invites us to ponder the depths of our own consciousness and the boundless potential that lies within.
