Ericksonian Hypnosis
 MILTON
H. ERICKSON, M.D., is generally acknowledged to be the world's leading
practitioner of medical hypnosis. His writings on hypnosis are the authoritative
word on techniques of inducing trance, experimental work exploring the
possibilities and limits of the hypnotic experience, and investigations
of the nature of the relationship between hypnotist and subject.
Perhaps less well known is the fact that Dr. Erickson has
a unique approach to psychotherapy which represents a major innovation
in therapeutic technique, For many years he has been developing effective
and practical methods of treatment which may or may not involve the
formal induction of trance. Those who think of him largely as a hypnotherapist
might be surprised that he lists himself in the telephone directory
as psychiatrist and family counselor.
