Summary: Learning was never so easy - before
Comment:
Taken at face value this book consists of nothing more than a few anecdotes drawn from Milton Erickson's long and distinguished career as a hypnotherapist and teacher. Plus a commentary from Sidney Rosen, the editor and also an experienced and well-respected hypnotherapist in his own right.
But Milton Erickson is renowned for have developed to a fine art the use of "vague language" and "conversational hypnosis". Which is another way of saying that he was a master of the skill of using words to bring his clients to whatever realisations they needed in order to be able to help themselves.
Not surprisingly, then, Erickson used those same skills when it came to teaching other doctors, psychiatrists, etc. to use the skills he had so carefully developed.
So whilst these appear to be descriptions of stories that therapists might tell to their clients, they are actually effective 'as YOU read them'.
Thus every reader gets teaching and therapy all in one!
This is possibly one of the most seemingly innocent, yet magnificently powerful books I have ever come across.
So get a copy, and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Summary: Great book that I'll keep with me always.
Comment: This book is a real gem. Just from reading it, one immediately gets a feel for Mr Erickson's approach and technique. (Its a pity he's dead, I would've loved to meet this talented man in person even if its a one in a billionth chance.) The stories recounted are very interesting, even if just for their story-telling value. Its hard not to feel a sense of calm after reading one or two of them, which is amazing. Even if you don't "get" at first glance what each story is supposed to do for you...after reading each story, you know it had worked its magic on you even if in a small helpful albeit subconscious way. Normally I only read most books once, but this... I read again and again, time after time. This is one of those things I'll always carry with me, wherever I go and whichever country I'm in.

Summary: A wonderful book.
Comment: This book, in addition to the "teaching tales," contains a short biography of Dr. Erickson, which any student of hypnosis would do well to read, because it helps you to understand how his approach was developed.
The anecdotes are marvelous, absolutely alive with possibility, and deliberately not overly expanded upon - they mean what you want them to mean. The book is useful for the student of hypnotherapy as well as the potential patient, or just a casual student of the mind.
My only caveat regarding this book is that if you are a therapist, you must try to *learn* from Erickson: you must not try to *be* Erickson. Repeating these stories by rote will not be as effective therapeutically as using the *concepts* they teach to form your own suggestion metaphors.
