'''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.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bates |first1=Gordon David Lyle|title=Charles Lloyd Tuckey: medical hypnotist and ‘amiable necromancer’ |journal=History of Psychiatry |year=2024|volume=35 |issue=2 |page=215-225}} https://doi.org/10.1177/0957154x231221047 </ref> He was born in [[Canterbury]] and educated at [[King's School, Canterbury]] before attending medical school at [[King's College London]] and [[Aberdeen University]]. He went on to practise medicine in London. In 1888, after visiting [[Ambroise-Auguste Liébeault]] in France and Drs [[Frederik van Eeden]] and Albert van Renterghem in Amsterdam he took up medical [[hypnotism]] despite its fringe status. He was a member of the ''New Hypnotists'', a loosely knit group of British physicians who actively promoted medical hypnotism despite institutional opposition.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bates |first1=Gordon David Lyle|title=The Uncanny Rise of Medical Hypnotism, 1888-1914: Between Imagination and Suggestion|url=https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-42725-1 |date=2023 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |location=London }}</ref> Other members included [[John Milne Bramwell]], [[Robert Felkin]] and George Kingsbury. <br>
