　　Hypnotism (催眠术) is very old. Thousands of years ago people started to use it in Egypt. The use of hypnotism has grown very much since that time. Today, doctors and scientists in almost every country hypnotize people to help them with their problems.

　　What is hypnotism, and how does it work? Many people think that a hypnotist puts people to sleep. Then he makes the hypnotized people to do strange things. This is not what a hypnotist does. Hypnotism is really just a way to relax the mind and body.

　　What are some of the uses of hypnotism? We go to a hypnotist because we have a problem. The problem makes us unhappy. The hypnotist asks us to think hard about something and relax. When we are relaxed, the hypnotist gives us some ideas to help us with our problems.

　　Hypnotism can help people to remember things. The police sometimes ask hypnotists to help them. For example, a man sees an accident. He forgets the license (牌照) number of the car he sees. If he is hypnotized he may remember it. The police can then find the car and catch the driver.

　　People who are hypnotized can also make mistakes or say something that isn't true. People remember what they think they saw. That may not be what really happened.

　　The police don't hypnotize people who do something wrong. Why not? People who are hypnotized may say something that isn't true. A person who has done something bad has a good reason to say something that isn't true.
