Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy

Over 2000 professionals from all over the world gathered in Phoenix in December 1980 for the extraordinary International Congress honoring a master therapist - Milton H. Erickson. In this volume of the Proceedings of this Congress, colleagues and students of Erickson demonstrate the far-reaching influence of his work and further our understanding of his precise, often confusing, and extremely effective techniques. In addition to keynote addresses by Jay Haley and Carl Whitaker, this volume includes extensive sections on Ericksonian Psychotherapy, Hypnotic Induction, Ericksonian Language, Ericksonian Influence on the work of the Mental Research Institute, Ericksonian and Family Therapy, Case Studies, Approaches in Medicine with Children and Adolescents, Pain Control, and Transcultural Issues.
