Description
Therapeutic Trances is a manifesto of the fundamental principles and techniques of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. This innovative volume lays out the principles and practice of developing relationships with patients and creating a hypnotic environment in which true healing can take place. The book offers therapists specific questions to ask and practical ideas to pursue, thereby illustrating how therapists may cooperate with clients to translate problems into solutions. Stephen Gilligan synthesizes the approaches of Erickson, Bandler & Grinder, and Bateson to bring a new perspective to the field.
Critic Reviews
“"Written thirty years ago, Dr. Gilligan's Therapeutic Trances remains one of few books that genuinely guides learners and practitioners to an understanding of hypnotic approach taught by Milton Erickson. The key ideas of Erickson's approach may be known to many, but the actual implementation of these ideas is still not apparent in many cases. Removing this gap between knowing and implementing has been the goal of Gilligan's work throughout his career. This book has obviously been written from his heart with two goals: One is the desire to help therapist truly understand the paradigm Erickson created and the other is to help therapists treat clients in the most positive and health oriented manner."
