Charles Lloyd Tuckey (14 February 1854 – 12 August 1925) was an English physician, who with John Milne Bramwell, is widely credited with reintroducing medical hypnotism or hypnotherapy to the United Kingdom in the late nineteenth-century.
He was a member of the New Hypnotists, a loosely knit group of British physicians who actively promoted medical hypnotism despite institutional opposition.
[2] Other members included John Milne Bramwell, Robert Felkin and George Kingsbury.
He wrote seven editions of the highly influential textbook, Psycho-Therapeutics: Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion between 1889 and 1920.
[3] He treated the American diarist Alice James using hypnotism for the pain and insomnia resulting from her breast cancer.
