--Nick Parsons, LMFT
The material in this ebook is drawn from a videotaped training in psychotherapy and therapeutic hypnosis taught in-person by the master of psychotherapy, Milton H. Erickson, M.D.
Erickson, who is the brilliant mind behind Ericksonian Hypnosis, and who was a major influence in the development of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, shares select quotes, modalities, and cases in his own words.
Milton Erickson was widely known as a maverick whose record of successes became legendary. Part of what made him so effective was the way he understood each individual as unique, and the way he used that understanding to create original and often bold and effective interventions tailored to that particular patient without imposing a pre-existing analytical framework first.
From his amazing empathy and intuition, and his unique skill with trance, comes his extraordinary record of successful therapeutic results.
Erickson's thinking was creative, free, and unrestricted. It was also very much based on his own unique personality and his experience of life. It was infused with his deep intelligence, his humanity, and his compassion.
The goal in studying Erickson’s work isn’t to be more like Erickson, but to become more unrestricted in your own thinking, more fully creative, and more deeply one’s self.
If you are a therapist, a psychologist, a life coach, or just interested in discovering secrets of personal change, this book is definitely for you.
