Description
Description: In this discussion, faculty share stories and insights that illuminate Milton H. Erickson’s therapeutic genius and personal character. They explore his inventive use of correspondence therapy, his deep commitment to patients, and his creative self-hypnosis for pain management. Anecdotes reveal Erickson’s formative experiences recovering from polio, his extraordinary observational precision, and his belief that hypnosis was a teachable, natural human process rather than a mystical one. The panelists reflect on Erickson’s legacy as both a model of disciplined innovation and a profoundly human healer whose curiosity and persistence reshaped modern psychotherapy.
