Milton Erickson Lives! A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER by Peter NemetschekMilton H. Erickson Lives has the feel of an impressionist painting. In its details and broad strokes, the book brings to life a time long ago that has natural resonance in this time. The book focuses on an unusual man—from the perspective of an unusual man. Original transcripts, rare photographs, and the special tone and palette of memory draw the reader into the vivid experience of what is being described.
Only available in eBook - MILTON H. ERICKSON provides a unique insight into the life and experiences of this influential figure, and a clear account of his specific contributions to psychotherapy, both theoretical and practical. Erickson was the dominant force in legitimizing the use of clinical hypnosis. Through his research and practice he developed a scientific understanding of hypnotic phenomena and devised many novel clinical applications.
Andreas Steiner has created a stunning deck of cards featuring notables from the world of psychotherapy. But more than humorous portraits (and they are certainly that!), there is plenty of innuendo, deep historical context, and good old-fashioned over-the-top parody to make it as fun to study the cards as play games with them. These are complete decks, perfect for bridge, rummy, canasta and poker.

Welcome to the worlds of conceptual communication and experiential learning, the last line in the Preface of this book, prepares readers for the Psychoaerobics Exercises. The exercises are designed to elicit in therapists generative states, from which both therapist and client can benefit. Composed of four sections -- Fundamental Perspectives, Warm-up Exercises, Psychoaerobic Exercises, and Concluding Remarks -- this book begins with a discussion on conceptual realization; Zeig proposes that therapists should approach therapy as artists, not as scientists. Facts inform; art impacts, he writes, explaining that the situation of therapy is one of uncertainty and ambiguity, both of which elicit emotion. Zeig credits his mentor, Milton H. Erickson, MD, who communicated concepts experientially and minimized facts, thereby becoming one of the world s greatest communicators.

“Luego de dos generaciones, “Realidades Hipnóticas” sigue siendo una fuente original para entender la contribución esencial de Milton H. Erickson a la hipnosis therapéutica, psicoterapia y los estudios sobre la consciencia en boga. La nueva actualización “Que és una sugestión?” presentada al final de esta nueva edición de “Realidades Hipnóticas”, cuenta la historia de cómo la investigación neurocientífica sobre la actividad o la expresión del gen dependiente de la experiencia y la plasticidad cerebral construye un puente sobre la brecha cartesiana entre el cuerpo y la mente.”

Imagine spending an evening with the icons of a profession and you begin to appreciate what Rubin Battino has fashioned in his literary play on the life of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Using this dramatic device, like a Greek dialogue, Battino applies the same approach he used in his highly successful bioplay of Viktor Frankl: Meaning. The voices of Dr. Erickson, his family, Margaret Mead, Stanley Milgram, John Weakland, Jay Haley, and many, many others resonate in the reader s mind. Using Erickson s own words, and the words of his contemporaries, the scenes cover his early life and professional development, his family experiences, his professional interactions, and even some classic cases.
