Definition of Hypnotist, Hypnotism and Hypnosis

Hypnosis is the effect produced by the hypnotism skills of a hypnotist.

Defining hypnotism as a function of hypnosis, the state that is produced by the hypnotist... is like defining a light source by focusing on whatever it is shining on. It's confusing because the light can shine upon many different things and reflect in different ways.

I find that a more useful definition is:

Hypnotist: A person who knowingly and artfully changes someone's state of mind using hypnotism.

Hypnotism (descriptive) / Hypnotize (active): The process of using specific communication skills to change someone's state of mind. What a hypnotist does.

Hypnosis: The effect produced by a hypnotist using hypnotism/while hypnotizing.

Hypnotherapy: Hype, no! Therapy. (wink) But it works like magic!
