Hypnotherapy: An Exploratory Casebook - Milton H. Erickson and Ernest L. Rossi

First published in 1979 by Irvington Publishers, this influential work examines Milton H. Erickson’s approach to clinical hypnosis through detailed case studies and theoretical discussion developed with psychologist Ernest L. Rossi. The cases explore hypnotic induction, indirect suggestion, therapeutic change and the use of a patient’s own experiences and responses in treatment. Examples include work with a married couple experiencing different symptoms, as well as the use of hypnosis in addressing phantom limb pain and tinnitus. With a foreword by Sidney Rosen, it is a substantial reference for readers interested in clinical hypnotherapy and Ericksonian psychotherapy.
