Hypnosis has a long history of human use, and is been known by many names.

The Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the U.S Department of Labor has included the title "Hypnotherapist" since 1975. The American Medical Association (AMA) approved its use in 1958, following the British Medical Association (BMA) approving it in 1955. It was of great benefit in the aftermaths of WWI and WWII.
