By Dan Short, Ph.D., Betty Alice Erickson, M.S., L.P.C. and Roxanne Erickson Klein, R.N., Ph.D.
Followers of Dr. Milton H. Erickson are sure to find pleasure and education in Hope and Resiliency, a new analysis of his philosophy and work. Dr. Dan Short has teamed up with two of Erickson's daughters to write this book that is based on case histories, Erickson's own writings, and personal anecdotes from Betty Alice Erickson and Roxanne Erickson Klein. The book begins with a biographical history of Erickson's life and then explains six therapeutic strategies that the authors consider to be the basic cornerstones of his professional success with clients for whom he was often a "last resort."

By Hugh Gunnison
When I first saw the title of Hugh Gunnison's Hypnocounseling, I was intrigued by the concept of blending the legacy of two men who made some of the most significant contributions to the practice of humanistic psychotherapy in the twentieth century. Like most counselors and psychotherapists, I studied Carl Rogers in graduate school and was quite enthralled with his book, On Becoming a Person (1961). Beginning a career as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner a few years later, I, like so many other before me, became immersed in anything I could learn about Milton H. Erickson. What a delight to find a book that integrates and pays tribute to the work of these two geniuses! More...

By Roy Hunter, M.S., F.A.P.H.P.
Inner conflict is a common human affliction. Consider the smoker who knows cigarettes are a health hazard, but who, nevertheless, cannot kick the habit. Consider the person who wants to lose weight, yet can't resist fattening foods. It's not only the bad habits and addictions that plague us. There are illogical fears and compulsions, and the ethical and moral dilemmas that harangue the conscience and keep us awake at night. These are the troubles that clients often bring to psychotherapy. More...
