IC01 Keynote 02 - The Basic Footprint of Erickson's Work - Steven Lankton, MSW, LMFT, DAHB and Ellen King, MA

Description:

The Basic Footprint is a model of change that represents and identifies Erickson's method for change. It is a general umbrella under which we should be able to place any step of change or intervention. Encounters that follow the Basic Footprint create change and any therapy that steps through these stages reflects Erickson's approach and echoes his legacy. A description of the Basic Footprint includes the steps: matching, blending, utilizing, introducing ambiguity, reframing and co-creating outcomes.

Educational Objectives:

1. To describe Erickson's rationale for change.
2. To name the six steps of the Basic Footprint in concrete terms.
