The Revue de l'Hypnotisme Expérimental et Thérapeutique was a French clinical and scientific journal at the heart of the great hypnotism debate of the 1880s and 1890s, taking its bearings from Bernheim and the Nancy school of suggestion while sparring with Charcot's Salpêtrière and reaching back to Braid. Its concerns are medical and legal: the therapeutic uses of suggestion, hypnotic somnambulism as the heir of animal magnetism, and — as in Liégeois's work — the fraught question of hypnotic suggestion in civil and criminal law. It treats the phenomena of the séance room as objects of skeptical experiment rather than articles of faith. This is a laboratory-and-clinic periodical, and its place among the esoteric journals is that of the rationalizing science that grew out of mesmerism.
