About Us - Affliated Organizations



In 1950, a group of hypnotists led by Dr. Rexford L. North, Director of the Hypnotism Center in Boston, Massachusetts, had an idea to form a national hypnotism member organization. With Dr. North at the helm, the National Guild of Hypnotists was officially launched in the spring of 1951, and within a short time, local chapters were formed and operating in many major American and Canadian cities.

During our fifty-six years we have encouraged an eclectic exchange of ideas, fellowship, mutual trust and cooperation among practitioners while promoting and protecting the art, science and philosophy of hypnotism. Our motto since 1950-51 has been The National Guild of Hypnotists provides an open forum for a free exchange of ideas concerning hypnotism.
