plural hypnotizers
- One who, or that which, hypnotizes.
We also encounter Jean-Martin Charcot, Freud’s first mentor in Paris, who charted the stages of hysteria and proposed that the power of hypnosis depended upon the abnormal nervous condition of the hypnotized, not the magus-like potency of the hypnotizer.
