Erickson Congress 1983

The Pre-Congress Institute

Held November 25-29, 1983 in Phoenix, AZ

The purpose of the institute is to offer a comprehensive structured training program in Ericksonian hypnosis and therapy that consists of basic and advanced sections. The institute has been designed so that each segment builds a foundation for the segments that follow and is designed to be practical, concentrating on the supervision of the participants as they practice the skills being taught. The institute will offer a more hands-on rather than a didactic approach. Participants can expect a great deal of practicum experience and intense interaction with the trainers due to the structure of the institute and the relatively low student/teacher ratio.

Short Description:
Address at the International Congress on Ericksonian approaches to hypnosis and psychotherapy which emphasized the therapeutic potential of language structure over content. Watzlawick critiqued traditional psychotherapy's reliance on reason and linear causality, advocating for techniques like learning the patient's language, avoiding negations, and using metaphors and stories. He also highlighted the importance of non-verbal communication and the right hemisphere's role in therapy. He also discussed the paradoxical nature of reality and the therapeutic use of paradox, suggesting that our perception of reality is more a language game than an objective truth.
