Look Into My Eyes

Reviews the book, Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy edited by Jeffrey K. Zeig (1982). This volume contains 43 papers written by friends and scholars who are the most knowledgeable about Erickson's work. The contributions are organized into sixteen parts and include a wide range of topics such as Ericksonian psychotherapy, hypnotic induction techniques, children, adolescent, and family therapy, case studies; work on pain control; discussions on law enforcement; coercion as related to hypnosis; and transcultural approaches. For students of Ericksonian therapy and hypnosis, reading this book is a must. The book will give them a "feel" for the master therapist--glimpses into his personal life and into his thoughts and philosophy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
