Milton H. Erickson, M.D.: An American Healer

Arguably the most revered psychotherapist of all time, Milton H. Erickson, M.D. inspired the origin of numerous schools of therapy, including brief and strategic therapy, much of family therapy, and the contemporary renaissance of clinical hypnosis. Erickson's life story, told from the perspective of three of his children, is a remarkable spiritual journey. As a part of his life-long struggle to overcome the physical effects of polio, Erickson acquired prodigious observational and interactional skills, as well as a powerfully calm healing presence. With photographs, stories, and a DVD of his clinical work, this book brings to light the quiet spirituality of an extraordinary healer.
