The National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational corporation in the State of
New Hampshire. Founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1951 the Guild is a professional organization comprised of dedicated individuals
committed to advancing the field of hypnotism. An open forum is provided for the free exchange of ideas concerning hypnotism.
The Guild is a resource for members and a vehicle for legal and legislative action.
We were established in 1951 by
an enthusiastic group of hypnotists and Dr. Rexford L. North, Director of the Hypnotism Center of Boston, MA. Within a short
time, local chapters were formed and operating in many major cities throughout the US and Canada. Important resources through
the years have been
The Journal of Hypnotism and
The Hypno-Gram, the very first publications devoted exclusively
to the field of hypnotism.
This unique organization continues to encourage an eclectic exchange of ideas, fellowship,
mutual trust and cooperation among members - while promoting and protecting the art, science and philosophy of hypnotism.
As President, Dr. Dwight F. Damon has made it his mission to do everything possible to have our field recognized as a separate
and distinct profession. The Guild has always assisted wherever needed, helping other groups and individuals in various states
regardless of their affiliations.
Each year the NGH holds an educational
conference which is attended by hypnotists from all over the world.
We've created this web site for both new and experienced
members of the NGH. It includes specific information on how to become a Certified Instructor with the National Guild of Hypnotists
and how to take your hypnotism career to the next level.
