 excellent book for everyone who learns and works with hypnosis March 28, 2010

I just love(d) it. This book gives a great inside in how Erickson applied stories to help people get insight into their problems and find ways out by themselves. In therapy, being able to provide the client with an understanding about her/his situation without dictating it to them is extremely important and few therapist really master this. Most of them directl guide others, whereas Erickson offers his stories which the clients can identify with and discover new ways of thinking, new apporaches, newer noticed solutions for their difficult situations and find themselves solving it and get well. By this way, he not only helo them and provides therapy, but authorizes themselves to be in charge of their lives. It is a wonderful book and I am sad not to be able to get to know Erickson himselfs.

this book gives the reader the chance to experience the mind set of Milton Erickson, one of the greatest therapists the world had known. A good read and intersting in its own right.

I found the content of this book very dry and not at all entertaining. I put it down after the first couple of chapters and haven't picked it up since.

I read about Erickson as the pioneer of NLP, and his work in hypnosis and psychotherapy and was intrigued. This book is a great introduction to Erickson. His style of communication which involves the use of skilfully vague language patterns, rapport skills, and conversational hypnosis techniques, forms the basis of the Milton Model in NLP.
These stories are case studies, people with all sorts of problems, and very interesting solutions, and great stories.
This guy is a genius. From bedwetting to alcoholism, to repression, I was particularly inspired by a very short story about the Turmahara Indians, and how knowing and thinking about their special abilities can increase your energy levels. If it works for me, it might work for you.
There was one story about how he treated one woman who was sexually unresponsive, and through using his storytelling method caused her to have an orgasm in his office without touching her! Before reading this book I had not realised how easily influenced we can be by indirect suggestion, and how powerful his techniques are.
Essentially this is a book of anecdotes, with the author who is himself a psychiatrist giving an explanation of the methods and techniques being used by Erickson.
Apart from the therapeutic benefits, if you read this book you can really improve your communication and storytelling skills if you follow the principles used here, so I would recommend this book to aspiring story tellers.
Think of Erickson as someone who was a master of effecting life altering personal change by being able to communicate on a deeper level. Applied to yourself you can most likely imagine the effect you can have on yourself and others and how you can win friends and influence people by learning this skill.
For more case studies, check out Conversations with Milton H. Erickson Vol 1 by Jay Haley. You might find situations in there that relate to issues in your own life. In fact, use the look inside feature and check out the index. I found the chapter on public speaking and performance anxiety quite helpful. Also, check out the Patterns of... Erickson book by Richard Bandler, which gives a a complete analysis of Erickson's induction methods.
I hope you find this review helpful.
