Hypnotism, hypnosis, and hypnotherapy are all basically the same thing. The only difference in the three is that hypnotherapy is using hypnosis to cure an ailment of some sort. It is a controversial issue whether or not hypnosis actually works or not. In my opinion it works if you think it works. If you go in with a negative frame of mind then it probably will not work. Most of healing is mental. If you will stay positive then you can over power what ever ails you....be it physical or mental.

Hypnosis is practiced by a hypnotist.
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to try to change a behavior through a hypnotic suggestion.
Hypnotism is the practice of hypnosis.
They are not three methods, they are all roots of hypnosis

What about all the different words? What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotism for instance?
You will hear lots of different words and expressions used and as with anything, people often like to use technical descriptions for simple and straightforward subjects. Hopefully, we have made a reasonably successful attempt to simplify the whole subject on this website. Hypnosis and hypnotism basically refer to the same thing. Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis or hypnosis used in a clinical setting as opposed to say, stage hypnosis. In many states in America, it is not permissable to refer to oneself as a hypnotherapist without having an appropriate medical or psychological background. Hence, the word hypnotism has become far more common for practical reasons.

hypnosis is an artificially induced trance state resembling sleep, characterized by heightened susceptibility to suggestion. (being hypnotized)
hypnotherapy is treatment of a symptom, disease, or addiction by means of hypnotism. (using hypnosis to treat a problem)
hypnotism is the act of hypnotizing.
hypnotism is an alternative to medicine. doctors don't prescribe hypnosis...it is something that an individual has to want to do (and pay for themselves)
depending on what you are trying to treat with hypnosis is what determines how many times, etc.
