This book is a fascinating case study that illustrates the use of
multiple levels of consciousness and meaning to access and
therapeutically reframe traumatic memories that were the source of
very severe phobias and depression. A rare record of Erickson's
pioneering genius in facilitating the evolution of new patterns of
consciousness and identity in a patient.
This classic book, available in paperback for the very first
time, explores why some people can successfully change their lives
and others cannot. Here famed psychologist Paul Watzlawick presents
what is still often perceived as a radical idea: that the solutions
to our problems are inherently embedded in the problems
themselves.
Tackling the age-old questions surrounding persistence and
change, the book asks why problems arise and are perpetuated in
some instances but easily resolved in others. Incorporating ideas
about human communication, marital and family therapy, the
therapeutic effects of paradoxes and of action-oriented techniques
of problem resolution, Change draws much from the field of
psychotherapy.

"During the past several years there have been ever-increasing
numbers of physicians, dentists, and psychologists interested in
hypnosis, both therapeutic and investigative. Reliable sources of
clinical information and instruction were practically non-existent
except for a few scattered individuals. To meet this need, to
interest universities, and to stimulate medical and dental schools
to an awareness of the importance of teaching clinical hypnosis, a
group of experienced clinicians competent in teaching were formed.
Throughout the United States, under the auspices of various
professional societies and universities, this group conducted
seminars on hypnosis. "This book is compiled from the tape
recordings of dozens of those seminars, and thus it contains the
material as it was presented, with all the simplicity, directness,
and effectiveness of the classroom presentation. "It is no more, no
less, than a comprehensive presentation of the material upon which
thousands of clinicians throughout the United States have based the
initiation and development of their successful clinical use of
hypnosis." -Milton H. Erickson, M.D. (1961)

More than any other individual, Milton Erickson has been
responsible for shaping the modern view of hypnosis. His great
contribution came from his ability to locate an individual's innter
resources for coping creativley with the real problems of everyday
life. Erickson himself endured two bouts of polio and was in a
wheelchair throughout much of his later life. He learned to use the
healing methods of self-hypnosis to deal with his handicaps and
uncover ways of experiencing living at more profound levels. His
delight in teaching these methdos of self-healing are clearly shown
in these transcriptions of his seminars, workshops and lectures.
Volume III contains much of the source material wherein Erickson
first expressed his original views on psychosomatic medicine and
healing. Here we learn hwo the languages of the mind communicate
with the languages of the body. His research validates the view
that psyche, mind, and brain are pervasively integrated in
modulating body processes in health and illness. The 'miracle
cures', spontaneous remissions of lethal diseases, and placebo
effects, which seemed inexplicable to the scientific mind until
recently, can how be understood as manifestations of mind-body
information systems that extend far beyond the limitations formerly
placed on the central nervous system.
