A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Jean-Martin Charcot (374 words) |
 | Charcot was known as an excellent medical teacher, and he attracted students from all over Europe. |
| To study the hysterics under his care, he learned the technique of hypnosis and soon became a master of the relatively new "science." Charcot believed that a hypnotized state was very similar to a bout of hysteria, and so he hypnotized his patients in order to induce and study their symptoms. |
| They were impressed with Charcot and went on to use hypnosis in their own way, but disagreed with their teacher that it was a neurological phenomenon. |
