Product reviews for The Wisdom of Milton H. Erickson

Wow! What a fascinating book this is. The author has managed to organise Erickson's ideas and thoughts on therapy, hypnosis, human growth and much more in a clear style. This book is easy to read and very hard to put down! We all have an idea of what we think Ericksonian therapy is or what Erickson meant but it is only after reading this book that I realised that Ericksonian therapy does not exist in any structured “school” or way specific step by step technique. It is more a concept, a way of being than it is a set of techniques or “how to do” steps. This book gives everyone a chance to read for themselves and make sense in their own way of what it was that “the Master' was trying to impart to his students and, after all, that is what Erickson wanted us all to do ” make sense of it in our own way.

I strongly recommend this book as essential reading
