{{DISPLAYTITLE:Fascination and Magnetism — Introduction}}

''This page is the introductory entry for the first of the three axes of the Paret Method: '''direct fascination''' and the '''European magnetic tradition'''. For the overall vision and the other two axes (Presence and Hermeticism, CNV-Polyvagal), see the [[Pagina principale|Main Page]].''

== A New Historical Perspective ==

This wiki proposes a reading of the history of hypnosis and fascination '''different from the conventional one'''.

The official history tells of Mesmer, then Braid who "discovers" hypnotism in 1842, then Charcot, then Bernheim and Nancy. In this narrative, direct fascination — open-eye hypnosis, the power of the gaze, personal magnetism — is marginal or ignored.

The documentary research conducted by ISI-CNV on 19th-century primary sources reveals a different history:

* The true heart of the tradition is '''direct fascination''': a state produced by the gaze, without sleep, without progressive induction, which produces complete anesthesia, catalepsy, and suggestibility.
* The central protagonist is '''Donato''' (Alfred d'Hont, 1845-1900) — not Braid, not Charcot — who fascinated over twenty thousand people across Europe, inspired neurologists like Morselli and Luys, and whose technique is documented by direct eyewitnesses.
* The chain of transmission is precise: '''Donato → Caravelli → Di Pisa → Marco Paret''' — and the Paret Method is the contemporary systematization of this tradition with modern neuroscientific understanding.

<blockquote>"Donatism leaves patients more awake and self-aware for longer, although it removes all voluntary control over their actions. Fascination produces a state of conscious automatism."
:''— Prof. Enrico Morselli, neurologist, after attending all of Donato's sessions in Turin (1886)''</blockquote>

== The Documented Historical Chain ==

{| class="wikitable"
| '''Mesmer''' 1775 || First system of animal magnetism. Trials before the Royal Academy of Paris, then condemned.
|-
| '''Du Potet''' 1820s || First to systematize passes and demonstrative magnetism. Master of Lafontaine.
|-
| '''Lafontaine''' 1840s || Franco-Swiss magnetizer — his demonstrations in England led Braid to "discover" hypnotism (Braid was a spectator, Lafontaine the practitioner).
|-
| '''[[Donato — Il Padre della Fascinazione|DONATO]]''' 1875–1900 || '''The turning point.''' Inaugurates in 1875 the fascination of healthy subjects, in public, with open eyes. "Donatization" becomes a scientific term. Inspires Morselli, Luys, De Rochas. 20,000+ people fascinated across Europe.
|-
| '''Prof. Luys''' 1886–1897 || Brings fascination into the hospital (Charité, Paris): 12 documented clinical cases, painless childbirth, rotating mirror. The Donato→clinical chain.
|-
| '''Di Pisa''' 1970s–1990s || Student of Caravelli. Explicitly cites Donato in his video. Applies fascination to therapy: smoking, tinnitus, pain, alcohol in a few sessions.
|-
| '''[[Paret Method]]''' from the 2000s to today || Marco Paret integrates Donato, Ghigi, Di Pisa, Ceccarelli/Taurus with polyvagal theory, mirror neurons, and understanding of the autonomic system. ISI-CNV teaches this system worldwide.
