Milton H. Erickson, M.D.: An American Healer (Profiles in Healing series) by Betty Alice Erickson

I normally do not love biographies but this was a very clear exception. I read it because I really respect his work and everyone was recommending this book.

While many books focus so much on Dr Erickson's hypnosis work, this is mostly him told by the people who knew him best. His story is remarkable and so well written. I felt like I met him and his biography reminds me so much of my own history that I wonder if somehow he has been influencing me throughout my life even though he has been show more gone since before I was born. I guess I was meant to be a neo-Ericksonian hypnotherapist... If there was ever any doubt in my mind between going to the final Erickson Congress and then reading this work, any doubt has been gone. show less
