Dr. Milton Erickson graduated from the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine in 1925. During the ensuing 55 years of his career, Erickson was devoted to researching, practicing, learning, refining, teaching, and publishing the lessons borne of his creative intuition and experience. And over the years his practices evolved. The last two decades of his life, and even more so in the 40 years since his death, through the efforts of those he influenced the number of ideas and interventions attributed to Erickson proliferated abundantly.

What can mental health professionals do to enhance their performance? Available evidence makes clear that clear that attending a typical continuing education workshop, specializing in the treatment of a particular problem, or learning a new treatment model does little to improve effectiveness.

This talk will outline the view that chronic suffering is maintained by the twin maladies of human disconnection and neuromuscular lock. We will see how Erickson’s great insight was that what comes into human experience can equally be a symptom or a solution, depending on the contextual connection, and how the skillful use of trance can transform long-standing problems into resources. This method cannot be reduced to a technique, it requires a deeply connected, humanizing relationship. The talk will overview what we need to understand and practice to master this Ericksonian legacy.

The core focus in Generative Change is creativity: How do you create a positive relationship with others and yourself—your body, your past, your future, your wounds, and your gifts? To accomplish this, a person’s state of consciousness is the difference that makes the difference. Generative Change work involves building the generative states, for yourself and others, needed to make significant change. It then focuses on how to maintain these states in order to reach meaningful goals and transform challenging obstacles. This presentation will explore how the six steps of Generative Change may be applied to Psychotherapy.
