- Short Description:
- Ericksonian approaches use both direct and indirect techniques and tailor methods to the unique characteristics of individual patients. Diagnostic categories can be used to individualize treatment. These tailored techniques are ways of "gift wrapping" ideas so that patients can best actuate effective changes. The concept of "Utilization'' and methods of processing interventions will be discussed. In Ericksonian treatment, dynamic experiences precede dynamic understanding.

- The evolution of psychotherapeutic methods over the past 200 years from Mesmer through the psychoanalytic schools, behaviorism and current cognitive psychology tells a fascinating tale of our evolving understanding of human nature. In this address we will trace the development of fundamental techniques such as suggestion, free association, active imagination, gestalt dialogue, focusing, Erickson's indirect approaches and what I now call "The Basic Accessing Question."

- Short Description:
- Watzlawick challenges the assumption that insight into the past is the key to change. He explores how insight can sometimes reinforce dysfunction rather than resolve it. Drawing from Ericksonian methods and constructivist theory, he presents alternatives such as reframing, behavior prescriptions, and planned chance events. The address offers a compelling look at how therapists can shift client realities by speaking their language and disrupting unhelpful patterns in the present.

- Short Description:
- This workshop explores how rigid, self-reinforcing behavioral patterns—“games without end”—can be disrupted through meta-level interventions. Drawing on Bateson’s systems theory and Erickson’s clinical methods, the discussion covers strategies like benevolent sabotage, paradox, and behavior prescriptions that shift entrenched dynamics. Practical examples include work with perfectionism, sexual disconnection, and resistant teens. The role of language, suggestion, and therapeutic relationship are central themes throughout.

- IC01 Short Course 07 - The Use of Ericksonian Hypnosis in the Treatment of Borderlines and Addictions - IIana H. Oren, PhD Borderline personality is an underlying character structure, marked by a fragmented sense of identity and maladaptive patterns of perceiving, behaving and relating to others. The Borderline is stuck in "yes, but!" or "I hate you! Don't leave me!" stance. In order to get the habitually oppositional patient to respond, the therapist needs to structure the therapeutic messages in a way that they are not easily recognized on a conscious level. Ericksonian hypnosis paves the way.
