This book consists of transcripts from conversations in 1955 among Milton Erickson, Jay Haley, and John Weakland. These conversations give us a glimpse into a remarkable historical moment, at the dawning of interrelated movements, which we know as strategic psychotherapy, brief therapy, and Ericksonian hypnosis. Each of the participants in these conversations fits Jay Haley’s description of an original. Each developed outside the usual educational pathways of professional therapists, and each contributed insights on therapeutic change from a multidisciplinary and iconoclastic perspective.","PeriodicalId":46304,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49135675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
