Deleuze, Jean Philippe François(1753-1835)
French naturalist and adept in animal magnetism or mesmerism. He was born at Sisteron, Lower Alps, in March 1753. He became an early advocate of magnetism, which he believed to be a function of the rapport between patient and magnetizer. He also came to believe in the ability of clairvoyants to diagnose disease.
