`Zeig and Munion have provided us with a lucid insight into the life and work of a 20th century giant, and it is a book ful of human warmth and humour. I congratulate you who still have the adventure of exploring Milton H Erickson's story ahead of you' - Hypnos

`This new offering on Erickson does not set out to uncover new ground, but more to introduce one to Erickson (and the cases are so extraoridinary they are worth repeating anyway). It does this in a number of easy to read sections, that gives a coherence, but the structure seems to filter out some of the magic of Erickson's uncommon mind' - New Therapist

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, Informative and Challenging, June 13, 2000

This review is from: Milton H Erickson (Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy series) (Paperback)

This volume in a series of key figures in counseling and psychotherapy features the work of Milton H. Erickson. Readers are blessed with the writing of Jeffrey Zeig and W. Michael Munion. It is at once: engaging without hype, informative without being boring, and challenging to the imagination. The work is divided into five chapters covering Erickson's life, contributions, technical orientations, criticisms with rebuttals, and overall influence. There is also a very helpful bibliography of Erickson and Erickson-inspired books which can be useful for planning a library. This is an honest, mature work that successfully balances facts and creativity and is one of the best introductions to and overview of M. H. Erickson's work I have ever read.
