| Description | This special issue of The Ericksonian Monographs contains unpublished "accepted papers" from the Third International Congress on Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy held in Phoenix, Arizona, December 3-7, 1986. Eleven chapters depict the use of Ericksonian methods for various special treatment populations. A creative application of Erickson's ideas, such as those exemplified by the treatment of various difficult cases, is of utmost importance to clinicians. The chapters illustrate cases and techniques dealing with clients who come with phobias, pain, stuttering, autism, psychosis, and multiple personality, and include some timely and far reaching concerns as those brought by homosexual clients and Mexican American populations and other cross-cultural groups. |
