Although many descriptive and evaluative articles have been written about Milton Erickson's hypnotic work, relatively little attention has been accorded that tremendous portion of his therapeutic work that made little or no use of formal trance states. In this volume the authors address thenselves to those aspects of Erickson's therapeutic work that did not rely on the utilization of formal trance states. Using Erickson's own verbatim descriptions of this work, those patterns which are characteristic of his approach are not only identified for the reader, but are described as sequenses of internal and external behaviors that can be duplicated by anyone.

Review
I had the privilege of reading David Gordan and Maribeth Meyers-Anderson's book, Phoenix, in manuscript. I was well impressed with their understandings of Milton's account of the processes of change in therapeutic intervention, and found it a unique and most interesting analysis of Miltons' methods of psychotherapy. Quoted by Elizabeth Erickson --Elizabeth Erickson

Instructional and Fun to Read,
This review is from: Phoenix: Therapeutic Patterns of Milton H. Erickson (Paperback)
The book examines patterns in Dr. Erickson's creation, organization, and utilization of therapeutic interventions. What makes these patterns valuable is that they work - if you learn and use them you will be able to reproduce in your own therapeutic work many of the seemingly magical outcomes that are characteristic of Erickson's work.

David Gordon Shows Why He's the Master of Modeling,
By Vincent Harris "Author of The Productivity Ep... (Trenton, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Phoenix: Therapeutic Patterns of Milton H. Erickson (Paperback)
David Gordon has written a book that seems to have done something the others on this same subject have not; he has made the basic patterns of Milton Erickson very EASY to duplicate and USE. While I doubt that simply reading and using this book will creat Erickson clones, the patterns Gordon presents WILL allow you to use your own abilities to the fullest. An enjoyable read.

One of my favorite Erickson books,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Phoenix: Therapeutic Patterns of Milton H. Erickson (Paperback)
So many hypnosis, Erickson and NLP books are stuck on techniques. Well tools only work as well as you know what to do with them. David Gordon does a nice job of approaching the topic from a different angle, the when, why and how to effectively create change. It is on my reread list of books as I know I will get even more from it the second time around
