5.0 out of 5 stars Instructional and Fun to Read, January 11, 2002

By	Laura De Giorgio "www.deeptrancenow.com" (Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars David Gordon Shows Why He's the Master of Modeling, February 21, 2008

By	Vincent Harris "Author of The Productivity Ep... (Trenton, MO USA) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Non-hypnotic patterns of Milton, August 29, 1998

By A Customer

Milton doesn't put people into a trance all the time, many times he just uses it ability to establish rapport and asks the client to do something. Not much about trance, but covers the non-hypnotic part of Erickson.
