These are the selected papers of Ernest Rossi, covering 1967 to 2007, and detailing his research into the then new area of neuroscience, specifically the three factors that facilitate brain growth: novelty, environmental enrichment and physical exercise. The essential function of psychotherapy and all the healing arts as well as the humanities, culture, and creative work in general is to facilitate what s inherently fascinating for individuals and empower them to pursue their own genius, personal development, and healing on all levels from mind to molecule each in their own individual way!

TranceForming Ericksonian Methods: 21st Century Visions

Camillo Loriedo

<p>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.</p>

The Induction of Hypnosis: An Ericksonian Elicitation Approach

JEFFREY K. ZEIG

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.
