Abbé Faria, or Abbé (Abbot) José Custódio de Faria, (May 30, 1746 – September 20, 1819), was a colourful Indo-Portuguese monk who was one of the pioneers of the scientific study of hypnotism, following on from the work of Franz Anton Mesmer. Unlike Mesmer, who claimed that hypnosis was mediated by “animal magnetism”, Faria understood that it worked purely by the power of suggestion. In the early 19th century, Abbé Faria introduced oriental hypnosis to Paris.
He was the first to affect a breach in the theory of the “magnetic fluid,” to place in relief the importance of suggestion, and to demonstrate the existence of “autosuggestion.”
