The
Answer Within by Stephen Lankton and Carol Hicks Lankton
This text is a detailed account of what I consider to be the
Master of Hypnosis and therapy, Milton Erickson.
I
would have loved to have met the man in person to experience
being in a room with such a maestro, but it was never my good
fortune to do so, however this book creates the closest
experience of Erickson you are likely to find.
It covers his philosophies on human beings and the
interactions within themselves and with others in the world.
It demonstrates how he formed and developed his ideas and
brilliantly describes what one is looking for within the
client for them to find that ‘the answers within’.
As you read through the fundamental frameworks of Ericksonian
therapy and the intricate linguistic and metaphorical
frameworks, it is a challenging read. Thank goodness it is all
brought alive by case studies where the words can then really
resonate within.
This is certainly a necessary read for those serious about
working with hypnosis.
