Experiencing Erikson / Edition 1

Overview

The work and legacy of Milton H.

Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D., a leading practitioner and teacher of Ericksonian psychotherapy and a former student of Erickson's, who remained close with him until Erickson's death, has written a uniquely personal view of Erickson himself, his basic ideas and techniques, his contributions to psychotherapy, and his highly individual methods of teaching.

Editorial Reviews

"Experiencing Erickson is an excellent introduction to the creativity of Erickson as individual, psychotherapist and teacher. It is an intriguing personal introduction to who Erickson was, what his major operating principles were and how these can be implemented to realize therapeutic effectiveness with clients.
