Description | This rare book gathered together 36 different articles by Erickson for
the first time, exposing him to the world. His major pieces on
hypnosis are all here, as well as a commentary by Jay Haley. A
favorite book of Richard Bandler's, most of these articles were
reprinted in the 4 volume Collected Works, but if you can't afford
$250, this book is a great alternative!
These conversation took place over a period of 17 years and were recorded as part of Gregory Bateson's project on communication and therapy. Bateson, my old teacher from Santa Cruz, makes an appearance in these books. In Vol. II Erickson talks about the issues of marriage and shows many procedures for resolving problems. In Vol III the conversations describe Erickson's lively ways of doing therapy with children. |
