Culturomics is a new scientific discipline of the digital humanities-the use of computer algorithms to search for meaning in large databases of text and media. This new digital discipline is used to explore 200 years of the history of hypnosis and psychotherapy in over five million digitized books from more than 40 university libraries around the world. It graphically compares the frequencies of English words about hypnosis, hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, and their founders from 1800 to 2008. This new perspective explore issues such as: Who were the major innovators in the history of therapeutic hypnosis, psychoanalysis, and psychotherapy? How well does this new digital approach to the humanities correspond to traditional histories of hypnosis and psychotherapy?
文化组学是数字人文领域的一门新科学学科，即利用计算机算法在大量文本和媒体数据库中寻找意义。这一新兴的数字学科被用于探索来自全球40多所大学图书馆的500多万本数字化书籍中200年的催眠和心理治疗历史。它以图表形式比较了1800年至2008年期间关于催眠、催眠疗法、精神分析、心理治疗及其创始人的英语词汇出现频率。这种新视角探讨了以下问题：治疗性催眠、精神分析和心理治疗历史上的主要创新者是谁？这种新的数字人文方法与传统的催眠和心理治疗历史的契合程度如何？
