About Us
The National Guild of Hypnotists, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational corporation in the State of New
Hampshire. Officially founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1951 the Guild is a
professional organization comprised of dedicated individuals committed
to advancing the field of hypnotism. We provide an open forum 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 1950/51 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 and Executive Director, 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.
