About the book

This volume presents the complete transcript of a five-day seminar with Milton Erickson. Here the reader will experience Erickson talking about his method of therapy, demonstrating his techniques, telling one fascinating anecdote after another - anecdotes which often produce feelings of cognitive dissonance and surprise, but eventually illuminate new ways of seeing patients and thinking about psychotherapy. In his introductory chapter, Jeffrey Zelig demonstrates how *Erickson used anecdotes to communicate on several levels at once in an extremely powerful way*. In addition, the appendix provides a detailed discussion by Erickson and Zelig of two introductions in the transcripts, revealing the precision of Erickson's teaching, in which every movement, every inflection, and every association have significance.

Subjects: Therapeutic use, Hypnotism, Unconscious Mind, Subconscious Mind, Trance
