Description

Philadelphia, August 1955 Hypnosis Phenomenon (68 min.)
Induction and Utilization Techniques in Hypnosis (71 min.)

Erickson shares the timeless principles of hypnosis that he observed, discovered, and used in this series. He underlines the critical need of safeguarding the patient and creating trust as the cornerstone of the cooperative connection that is unique to hypnosis. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the patient’s meaningful need and goes over the techniques of rehearsal, uncovering, dissociation, regression, time-distortion, revivification, visualization, orientation to the past and to the future, trusting the unconscious mind, and post-hypnotic suggestion with numerous examples.

Milton H. Erickson, MD, was a psychiatrist in the United States who specialized in medical hypnosis and family therapy. He was the founding president of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis and was known for his innovative and solution-generating approach to the unconscious mind.
For the most of his life, Dr. Erickson struggled with severe physical disabilities. He developed polio at the age of 17 and was disabled so severely that doctors thought he would die. While recuperating in bed, nearly completely paralyzed and unable to talk, he became acutely aware of the importance of nonverbal communication – body language, tone of voice, and the way these nonverbal signals sometimes directly contradicted the spoken ones. He also began to acquire “body memories” of his own muscle action. By focusing on these memories, he gradually regained control of sections of his body, finally allowing him to speak and move his arms again. His doctor advised him to solely exercise his upper body, so Milton Erickson planned a 1,000-mile canoe expedition to get the strength needed to attend college. His voyage was difficult, and despite the fact that he still did not have full use of his legs at the conclusion, he was able to walk with a cane.

In a number of respects, the Ericksonian method differs from standard hypnosis. While the process of hypnosis has traditionally been thought of as the therapist issuing standardized instructions to a passive patient, Ericksonian hypnosis emphasizes the importance of the interactive therapeutic relationship and purposeful engagement of the subject’s inner resources and experiential life. Dr. Erickson transformed the profession of hypnotherapy by introducing various novel concepts and communication patterns into the discipline.
Dr. Erickson’s hypnotic approach informed his unique psychotherapy procedures for treating individuals, couples, and families. Despite his reputation as the world’s premier hypnotist, Dr. Erickson employed formal hypnosis in just one-fifth of his clinical practice cases.
Dr. Erickson was responsible for a significant change in modern psychotherapy. Many formerly deemed severe features of the Ericksonian approach are now absorbed into the mainstream of modern practice.

The Erickson Foundation has a biography of Milton Erickson.
