"Counseling Through the Mind's Eye, October 8, 2007
A unique approach to psychiatry and psychotherapy - bends the walls of these disciplines to reveal an approach based on connecting with the unconscious of the analysand through a variety of techniques, such as conversational hypnosis, talk therapy, self-hypnosis and behavioral modification.
Highly recommended for all pychotherapists, hypnotists, counselors, and psychiatrists willing to expand their horizons and their vocational range.
Also, for the laymen, a fascinating look at a legend in action and at the art of talk therapy. One comes away from this book with a personal regard for Erickson - for his courage to not only push through his personal physical disabilities, but his unquenchable love of life. An uplifting, refreshing read.
Note, this book focuses not so much on hypnosis as on Erickson's broader approach to therapy, although hypnosis is certainly a component.
My highest recommendation for those with an interest in psychotherapy, neurolinguistic programming, or hypnosis."
"Wonderful collection of hypnotic teaching tales from the ultimate master of Hypnosis, the late Milton Erickson. Reading these short stories you will appreciate the warmth, genius and wisdom of this man. You will also undergo transformations... This is like hypnosis in a book format. If you are unfamilliar or uncomfortable with the idea of hypnosis, let me just point out that you are in a trance as you are reading this. A reading trance in which you are/were focused on these words to the exclusion of other things around you. It's that simple. But in skilled hands, hypnosis can help you make profound changes easily and effortlessly. Erickson spent his life helping others using hypnosis, despite his own terrible affliction with polio. Erickson has a heroic quality about him, in the tradition of American values, and his character shines through in these tales, in a very inspiring way. One of my favourite books."
"This book was amazing and I literally started reading it and barely put it down before I finished it.
Milton Erickson was simply a natural at understanding human psychology. He was a psychiatrist and one of the world's leading hypnotherapists. Whether or not you give hypnotherapy credit, I think this book reveals that hypnotherapy is really part of psychology - it is a way of communicating with the subconcious, and Erickson was naturally brilliant at this.
The case studies in this book will amaze and inspire. This is another book that shows the power of the mind and the connections between mind and body."
