Dan Short, Betty Alice Erickson & Roxanna Erickson-Klein – Hope and Resiliency [1 ebook – PDF]

Milton H. Erickson, MD is recognised as one of the most innovative clinicians of our time. Known as the father of modern hypnosis and the source of inspiration for many forms of familytherapy and brief therapy (including the increasingly popular solution-focused therapy) Erickson’s influence has reached far beyond the perimeters of anyone country or culture.

Much of the scientific and popular literature is beginning to focus on the themes of “hope and resiliency”.

Erickson worked from a philosophical position that is best explained using these two concepts.

Although Erickson is most commonly examined through the lens of hypnosis, this book takes a much broader approach and defines several key components that made him successful as a therapist. The fundamental strategies described are relevant to all mental health care professionals, regardless of their theoretical orientation. Hope & Resiliency is written by leaders and experts in the field of Ericksonian therapy.

One would expect that writing over 300 professional papers and hypnotizing over 30,000 subjects would make Erickson, who is probably best known for his contributions to hypnosis, family therapy and brief therapy, the subject of much intense study. Here his philosophy gets a much broader treatment than normally found in books about his techniques and theories. The authors, all experts in Erickson studies, begin with a brief biography and then turn to his ideas about the human condition, mental health and healing, and the role of clinician. They then describe his six core strategies, including distraction, partitioning, progression, suggestion, reorientation and utilization. They close with information on putting the knowledge of Erickson’s approach to use, including in self-development exercises.
