Biographies & Memoirs

W.W.Norton

This casebook is the most systematic analysis of Erickson's approach to hypnotherapy. It provides the theoretical principles and practical case studies necessary for professionals, students, and all those interested in the techniques of one of the leaders in the field. There are three central themes: The use of traditional psychotherapy to deal with symptom relief and behavioral change, the creation of new patterns of awareness, and the facilitation of new dimensions of personality and identity. The first four chapters offer systematic presentations of the utilization approach and indirect forms of suggestion - the essence of Erickson's therapeutic innovations over the past fifty years and the key to his unique skill as a hypnotherapist. Exercises at the end of these chapters help the clinical practitioner acquire the necessary skills to use these methods. Some of the cases presented in the following six chapters are the most completely documented hypnotherapy studies ever published. They illustrate and further explore Erickson's clinical work with patients. Six of the cases are major studies in which transcribed tape recordings of Erickson's actual words and patterns of interaction with patients are presented. In commentaries on these sessions, the authors present their understanding of the dynamics of the hypnotherapeutic process, and discuss current issues such as the functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the mechanism of the creative process, and the facilitation of human potential.

Hypnotic Alteration of Sensory, Perceptual, and Psychophysical Processes (The Collected Papers of Milton H. Erickson on Hypnosis, Vol. 2)

The study of the nature of human consciousness, a dormant and often taboo topic in psychology, is once again developing into a respected field of inquiry. This is the first book to provide a broad scientific point of view for the investigation of a variety of special states of consciousness. The editor combines a humanistic approach, which includes an awareness of the great potential richness in human experience indicated by ASCs, with the disciplined precision of a scientist. He brings a professional point of view to the observation of the increasingly widespread use and resultant effects of drug, Yoga, self-hypnosis, and other means of producing ASCs which are popularly regarded as comprising either a major social problem or a sign of positive change in a materialistic civilization. Studies of ASCs produced by psychedlic drugs, for example, are placed in this book within a broad, illuminating perspective that includes papers on mystical experiences, hypnagogic (between waking and sleeping) states, dream consciousness, meditation, hypnosis, and brain wave feedback-produced states. In this volume, Professor Tart has brought together 35 scientific papers which illustrate the variety of ASCs and their effects, which describe some of the techniques, both ancient and modern, for producing ASCs and, perhaps most important, which show that ASCs can be studied scientifically without destroying their inherent human richness.

... Hypnotic Realities is a verbatim transcript of Dr. Erickson's induction of clinical hypnosis and his approaches to trance training. It provides students and professionals with clear examples of the evolution of clinical hypnotic phenomena. Two major innovations in this volume are the utilization theory of hypnosis and indirect forms of suggestion....Each chapter includes an essay by Ernst Rossi which clarifies and elaborates on the relevant issues of Dr Erickson's work just illustrated. In these essays, Dr. Rossi analyzes Dr. Erickson's approach in order to uncover some of the basic variables that can be isolated and tested by future experimental work. These sections are a bridge between the clinical art of Dr. Erickson's hypnotherapy and the systematic efforts of the science of psychology to understand human behavior. --- excerpts from book's dustjacket

Hypnotic Realities: The Induction of Clinical Hypnosis and Forms of Indirect Suggestion

Ernest L. Rossi

Irvington Publishers

The first section of this volume presents an historically important lecture on clinical hypnosis by the senior author wherein we witness his transition from the older authoritarian approach to hypnosis to the new permissive approaches, which he pioneered. The second and third sections of this volume focus on the phenomena of catalepsy and ideomotor signaling, two of the senior author's basic approaches to trance induction and hypnotherapy. The fourth section, dealing with the experiential learning of hypnosis, illustrates one of the senior author's favorite occupations in recent years: the training of professionals in the use of clinical hypnosis by allowing them to experience the process themselves.
