    First Published in 1985. Milton H. Erikson M.D.(1901-1980) was generally acknowledged as the world's foremost authority on hypnotherapy and brief strategic therapy. This volume presents the complete transcript of a five day seminar with Milton Erickson. The reader will experience Erickson talking about his method of therapy, demonstrating his techniques, telling one fascinating anecdote after another- anecdotes which often produce feelings of cognitive dissonance and surprise, but eventually illuminate new ways of seeing patients and thinking about psychotherapy.

    "A Teaching Seminar of Milton H. Erickson is a delightful read and likely to communicate powerfully to the reader at various levels. The style of the book offers a real sense of being in Erickson's presence. His anecdotes are teaching tales, interspersed with useful suggestion, make for engaging prose and unexpected learning hidden within his subtle use of metaphor.
