With new introductions by the authors, <i>The Answer Within</i> illuminates the genius of Milton H. Erickson as a psychotherapist and demonstrates how the principles that anchored his creativity can be incorporated into an effective therapeutic approach that is both flexible and grounded. A foundational work that continues to be fresh, the book takes the reader step by step from diagnostic assessment through treatment plan, illustrating each stage with clinical examples and transcripts. Clear and engaging, the informative case presentations include actual inductions and intricate metaphors accompanied by insightful commentary on therapeutic strategies and techniques.</p> <p> From <i>Contemporary Psychology</i> (1984): <br> 'The clarity with which the subject is presented will not only help readers to understand Erickson's use of metaphor, but will help them understand how this technique may be used in their own practice.'</p> <p> From <i>The Script</i>, International Transactional Analysis Association (1983): <br> 'A balanced, thoughtful analysis and interpretation of Milton H. Erickson's approach to hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, a complex system of skills which is neither magic nor mere mechanics.'</p> <p> From the <i>Journal of Marital and Family Therapy</i> (1984): <br> 'The book is creative, thoughtful, and useful. Perhaps because the book is uniquely their own style, Erickson might have commended the framework provided as 'Lanktonian Hypnotherapy'.'<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This is a recent reprint of a classic book dealing with Ericksonian Therapy. I have to say that I probably wouldn''t have understood much of it had I come across it at the beginning of my career as a therapist. However, it does make much more sense to me several years and much experience later.<br /><br />Far from only using examples from Milton Erickson''s work, the authors also use their own transcripts to illustrate how they adapted what Erickson did to suit their own styles of working with clients. Indeed, this is what the man himself always emphasised - that students should learn his methods and then go away and do the sort of things he did but in their own way.<br /><br />The book is split into nine sections (or chapters), each dealing with a specific aspect of Erickson''s work. By all means begin at the beginning, since it is well written and interesting throughout but, if there are some aspects with which you feel you are already familiar enough, choose a section you would like to understand more fully and begin with that. I don''t doubt you''ll end up reading the whole book anyway, just possibly not in the order in which it was written. A good resource but possibly better suited to the more experienced therapist.</p><p>Fidelity</p><br><br><p>This text is a detailed account of what I consider to be the Master of Hypnosis and therapy, Milton Erickson. I would have loved to have met the man in person to experience being in a room with such a maestro, but it was never my good fortune to do so, however this book creates the closest experience of Erickson you are likely to find.<br /><br />It covers his philosophies on human beings and the interactions within themselves and with others in the world. It demonstrates how he formed and developed his ideas and brilliantly describes what one is looking for within the client for them to find that the answers within''. <br /><br />As you read through the fundamental frameworks of Ericksonian therapy and the intricate linguistic and metaphorical frameworks, it is a challenging read. Thank goodness it is all brought alive by case studies where the words can then really resonate within. <br /><br />This is certainly a necessary read for those serious about working with hypnosis. </p><p>Tom Barber</p><br>
