Fifty years ago hypnotists were entertainers who persuaded your Uncle Bill to quack like a duck in a night club. One hundred years ago hypnotists were called charlatans, and during the Middle Ages a hypnotist was considered a witch.

Today's hypnotist is likely to be a physician, a psychololgist, a university researcher, or a nurse, and to be employed in the emergency room of Jefferson Hospital in Louisiana, at the figure skating pavilion in the Olympics, or at the local weight control center.
