Milton H Erickson (Key Figures in Counselling and Psychotherapy)

Rating:
Summary: Engaging, Informative and Challenging
Review: This volume in a series of key figures in counseling and psychotherapy features the work of Milton H. Erickson. Readers are blessed with the writing of Jeffrey Zeig and W. Michael Munion. It is at once: engaging without hype, informative without being boring, and challenging to the imagination. The work is divided into five chapters covering Erickson's life, contributions, technical orientations, criticisms with rebuttals, and overall influence. There is also a very helpful bibliography of Erickson and Erickson-inspired books which can be useful for planning a library. This is an honest, mature work that successfully balances facts and creativity and is one of the best introductions to and overview of M. H. Erickson's work I have ever read.
