Introduction: Some scholars highlight the inconsistency of the history of psychology and the way it has become science, as if the past of ignorance was giving way to the lights of reason. Given this context, a review of this trajectory is needed, verifying why so many gaps and why the marked effort to maintain them. Objective: To revisit the history of hypnosis and its subjectivity in order to promote an invitation to reflect on this subject. Methodology: The study was developed through a review with the critical analysis of the book entitled "Psychology, hypnosis and subjectivity" by Maurício S. Neubern. Considerations: This book provides better insight into the history of hypnosis and how its adherents were judged and even banned from institutions. By covering various contexts within the history of psychology, the work is very extensive and contains a lot of information, making the reading a bit tiring but still interesting and very satisfying as long as it knows. This is a text that makes a solid contribution to those interested, intended for all those who already have some knowledge on the subject and want to deepen further.
