TRAINING DESCRIPTION
This dynamic workshop presents cornerstone principles of Ericksonian strategic psychotherapy. Milton H. Erickson, M.D. (1901-1980) was renowned for his ingenious methods for eliciting patient change. His approach harnessed the power of hypnosis, but often without the use of formal trance. These brief therapy techniques, such as symptom prescription, reframing, anecdotes and symbols, can be incorporated into any psychotherapeutic discipline and across patient populations to enhance the therapeutic process. Key concepts include 'goal-setting', 'gift-wrapping', 'tailoring', 'creating a dramatic process' and 'utilization'. Applications to problems such as depression, anxiety, personality disorders and trauma are addressed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the training participants will be able:
• to distinguish five 'choice points' that can empower therapy
• given a treatment goal, to distill ways to gift-wrap, tailor, and process the intervention.
TEACHING METHODS
Lectures, experiential exercises, practice sessions and live demonstrations. Discussion of videotapes of Milton H.
Erickson, M.D., recorded in 1978-1980 during teaching seminars in Phoenix, Arizona.
