During the late nineteenth century, Spanish physicians had few chances to observe how hypnosis worked within a clinical context. However, they had abundant opportunities to watch lay hypnotizers in action during private demonstrations or on stage. Drawing on the exemplary cases of the magnetizers Alberto Santini Sgaluppi (a.k.a. Alberto Das) and Onofroff, in this paper I discuss the positive influence of stage magnetizers on medical hypnosis in Spain. I argue that, owing to the absence of medical training in hypnosis, the stage magnetizers’ demonstrations became practical hypnosis lessons for many physicians willing to learn from them instead of condemning them. I conclude that Spain might be no exception in this regard, and that further research should be undertaken into practices in other countries.

舞台充磁器的催眠课程：西班牙的医学和外行催眠师。

在十九世纪末期，西班牙医师几乎没有机会观察催眠在临床环境中的作用。但是，他们有很多机会在私人示威或舞台上观看外行催眠术。借助励磁机Alberto Santini Sgaluppi（又名Alberto Das）和Onofroff的典型案例，在本文中，我讨论了舞台励磁机对西班牙医学催眠术的积极影响。我认为，由于缺乏催眠方面的医学培训，舞台充磁机的演示成为许多愿意向他们学习而不是谴责它们的医生的实用催眠课程。我得出结论，西班牙在这方面可能也不例外，应该对其他国家的做法进行进一步的研究。
