The Nancy School was an early French hypnosis-centred school of psychotherapy, which can be traced back to 1866 and the work of Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault, a follower of the theory of Abbé Faria, in the city of Nancy.
It is referred to as the Nancy School to distinguish it from the antagonistic Paris School that was centred on the hysteria-centred hypnotic research of Jean-Martin Charcot at the Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris.
