Dalla lettura di questo gradevole testo emerge quanto E. fosse una persona dotata di grande genio e incredibile sensibilità, e allo stesso tempo di quanto noi ne siamo sprovvisti. Difficile ripercorrere le stesse strategie di saggezza, ma questi racconti sono lì per ricordarci che sono possibili. Il libro è a cura di un collega di E. e i suoi intercalari dovrebbero essere saltati per apprezzare più interamente l'umorismo e l'astuzia dei racconti.
Books Read in the Past:

I admire and use Ericksonian techniques, and found this book to be quite good enough, but it's not one of the most spectacular therapist training texts I've encountered.
Fascinating the way that Milton Erickson used the power of metaphor to heal his clients. The stories are often deceptively simple, but they obviously worked because people were prepared to travel hundreds of miles for a consultation with this great psychiatrist and hypnotist. A must read for healers.
Excellent book and I am already biased a bit towards this particular hypnotist. A list of great stories from Dr Erickson.

Born in Nevada in 1901, Milton Erickson grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. As a pioneer in the use of hypnosis, he established hypnosis as a valid and effective therapeutic technique. His books on hypnotherapy, although geared toward health professionals in medicine, dentistry, and psychotherapy, are written in an original and personal style. Both a show more psychiatrist and a psychologist, Erickson was a member of many national and international professional organizations. At the time of his death in 1980, he was the world's leading practitioner of medical and therapeutic hypnosis. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
