Hypnosis

Hypnosis or mind control was the ability to place others into a state in which they would obey the commands of the hypnotist or believe what the hypnotist told them. Some forms of hypnosis were stronger than others. Memory erasure or alteration also could be accomplished hypnotically.

The Doctor and hypnosis

Even the Third Doctor proved to be able to break a state of hypnosis caused by others: on Jo Grant manipulated by the Master, through a verbal technique (TV: Terror of the Autons) or on the scientists kidnapped by the Sontaran Linx, with the help of an intermittent light. (TV: The Time Warrior) He could also resist forms of hypnosis which would defeat weaker-minded individuals, such as BOSS's conditioning at its strongest power frequency. (TV: The Green Death)

The Master and hypnosis
As a means to his ends, the Master frequently used hypnosis to have people perform tasks on his behalf.
