MILTON H. ERICKSON AND HYPNOSIS: REFLECTIONS
James Auld, Dentist in private practice
When I was asked to write an article on Milton Erickson’s contribution to hypnosis I was perplexed: What could I say that has not been said by others already? Rather than focus on his techniques, I thought it might be interesting to provide some background information on some of the ways that his work has spread throughout the professional community and influenced so many clinicians. In part, it is also a story about my own journey with hypnosis through the years: how opening a window can let you see more clearly than through the pane, and allow the rainbow hues of experience and knowledge to enter your soul and become part of your personal and professional being.
