Offering an entirely new fundamental model of hypnosis from an Ericksonian perspective, this book is valuable to the beginning and intermediate practitioner who wants to add hypnotherapy into clinical practice. It provides a comprehensive genealogy (an Ericksonian family tree), testimony to Dr. Erickson s significant influence; deconstructs the key concepts of hypnosis; presents real-life cases, dispels myths; and demystifies the process of eliciting trance. It also compares and contrasts the traditional model of hypnosis with the Ericksonian model; delves into hypnotic evocative communication, the language of hypnosis, and the ARE model of hypnotic induction; and distinguishes between the three aspects of human experience: emotion, moods, and states, with states being the most operative in the elicitation of hypnosis. Written with passion, expertise, and experience gleaned directly from Dr. Erickson, THE INDUCTION OF HYPNOSIS: An Ericksonian Approach fades the stereotypical image of hypnosis as magic and mojo and brings into the light the real power and purpose of modern clinical hypnosis.

Welcome to the worlds of conceptual communication and experiential learning, the last line in the Preface of this book, prepares readers for the Psychoaerobics Exercises. The exercises are designed to elicit in therapists generative states, from which both therapist and client can benefit. Composed of four sections -- Fundamental Perspectives, Warm-up Exercises, Psychoaerobic Exercises, and Concluding Remarks -- this book begins with a discussion on conceptual realization; Zeig proposes that therapists should approach therapy as artists, not as scientists. Facts inform; art impacts, he writes, explaining that the situation of therapy is one of uncertainty and ambiguity, both of which elicit emotion. Zeig credits his mentor, Milton H. Erickson, MD, who communicated concepts experientially and minimized facts, thereby becoming one of the world s greatest communicators.  A patient s problems can be conceived located in the limbic area of the brain the emotional/social center. If they were in the prefrontal cortex, the reasoning center, they could be solved logically. States, moods, emotions and identities, Zeig points out, are not promoted through didactic methods. Rather, they are elicited experientially. Therapists are traditionally trained in a top down manner, whereby technique, theory and research predominate. Therefore, their patients are offered therapy from the top down. However, it is often the case that a patient must experience, from the bottom up, in order to come to a realization and make a change.  Zeig s goal is to retrain therapists from the bottom up, experientially. So with this in mind, he designed exercises for therapists to use so that they could have more emotional impact. He compares his therapeutic work-out with that of a gym, whereby certain stations are set up to work specific muscle groups. The 10 Warm-up Exercises and 50 Psychoaerobic Exercises are designed accordingly. Introductions precede the exercises and often there is a discussion afterward. The exercises were derived from Zeig modeling Milton Erickson and the states for which Dr. Erickson was most noted. They include: being experiential, developing acuity, orienting toward, being strategic, strengthening the goal, using multilevel communication, being attuned, creating constructive attributions, effecting utilization, tailoring, gift-wrapping, and demonstrating flexibility in roles. These domains, Zeig opines, can be the foundation for a master Ericksonian therapist.

Want to be a more effective clinician? Want to avoid burnout? Want to better cultivate your unique brilliance? Jeff Zeig wants that too. It is good for the field, for clients, for those working on the front lines of mental health. With Evocation: Enhancing the Psychotherapeutic Encounter, Jeff invites therapists of all stripes and at every professional level to unshackle their creativity! He demonstrates the benefits, delineates the concepts, and shows readers how to put them into action. Jeff has studied and actually sat down with some of the foremost writers, filmmakers, and composers of our time so that he could better understand the grammar of impact from different perspectives. Just as a therapist hopes to orient a client to new opportunities, a poet seeks to awaken new possibilities. Evocation weaves together various rich threads encounters with art, exercises for reader engagement, case excerpts, insights into Erickson s cases, and so much more to reveal the endless potential for evoking fresh resolutions within clients. Jeff redefines the therapeutic encounter to include an essential multidimensional vocabulary spoken, gestural, hypnotic that can naturally ebb and flow with the client s capacity for engagement. The final contribution of a quartet of revelatory volumes Psychoaerobics, The Induction of Hypnosis, and Anatomy of Experiential Impact Evocation both builds on the previous books and stands alone.

At long last, Jeffrey Zeig has gathered up some of his most pivotal contributions to psychotherapy and put them together in a new volume that will be of interest to students and colleagues alike. And as the title implies, this book represents a convergence of ideas and writings over time, reflecting Zeig’s professional and personal journey. Divided into four major sections, the 15 titles encompass both the overarching themes of contemporary clinical endeavor: how to BE a therapist and how to DO therapy. Throughout the book, Zeig’s understanding of therapy as being more art than science is apparent. His creativity and love of language come through, even in the most technical of discussions, thereby making it easier to grasp the concepts being discussed and stimulating further thought on the part of the reader. In every chapter, there is something concrete to learn about methodology, limitations, history, innovation, and application. Taken as a whole, this volume represents and contributes to the confluence of the field, for, as the author says, "The art of our own evolution is going to advance the therapy more than any technical development that any expert has to offer you."

This book offers a blueprint for achieving a happier, healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. At the center is the formation of a Positive Addiction. Research scientific and anecdotal shows that just as a negative addiction usually becomes the North Star for a person s life, causing shame, isolation, and loss of control, a Positive Addiction can become the North Star that points in a different direction: toward greater peace, fulfillment, and optimism. And, further, we know that a Positive Addiction takes just 30 days to establish, to take root so that it can grow. The perspectives and activities in the book are designed to help individuals to identify their strengths while also accounting for idiosyncrasies and resistances. Thus, the plan doesn t care how lethargic your spirit and body, or how ambivalent you have been in the past, it asks only that you start exactly where you are, even to anticipate manageable little failures along the way and then to keep going. Once your Positive Addiction is selected whether a new activity or something reclaimed from long ago it becomes an anchor for positive change on every level. Imagine how reshaping your days to make time for a part of you not yet explored or one that has been left behind can enrich every part of life. What will your Positive Addiction be? Will you paint, or walk, or study Renaissance fashion, or practice French, or explore clean eating, or investigate yoga, or plant a wildflower garden, or, or, or ... ? Imagine. Envision. Do.
