IC01 Keynote 01 - Celebrating Erickson - Jeffrey K. Zeig, PhD
Although patterns of Erickson's methods have been elucidated in the literature, many
remain obscure. Using videos from the Erickson Foundation Archives, Zeig will describe
complex patterns and indicate potential uses in psychotherapy.
IC01 Keynote 02 - The Basic Footprint of Erickson's Work - Steven Lankton, MSW, LMFT, DAHB and Ellen King, MA
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.
IC01 Keynote 03 - Novelty, Gene Expression and Neurogenesis - Ernest Rossi, PhD
This is a practical, personal growth workshop demonstrating how the new neuroscience principles
of novelty, enrichment and physical exercise can be facilitated with creative replay and reframing
as the fundamental dynamics of Erickson's work.
IC01 Keynote 04 - The Therapist as Humanist, Social Activist and Systemic Thinker - Cloe Madanes, PhD
From Freud to Erickson to the current practice of psychotherapy, the nature of human problems
has remained the same. What has changed is which problems we consider are within the realm of
psychotherap-y to elucidate. When Erickson introduced the concept of directive therapy, the field
changed, not only in terms of how to do therapy, but also in terms of what are the issues a
therapist must address. Is there a place for the concept of evil, for the practice of justice, and for
the spiritual realm in therapy? What do we know today that we didn't know a hundred years ago?
How can we preserve the existence of the therapist as humanist, social activist and systemic
thinker?
