''This excellent overview draws on the wealth of the authors' joint experience with Milton Erickson's work to succintly summarise the philosophical principles and clinical key clinical strategies underpinning his approach. Warmly and clearly written, and well illustrated with case reports and practical examples, this book should be of interest to students of Erickson, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.''- Dr. Karl Drewek BSc (Hons), PhD (Psych), DCHyp , Senior Lecturer- BST Foundation and St Mary's University College Twickenham, Diploma of Higher Education in Clinical Hypnosis.''The Wisdom of Milton H. Erickson by Dr. R.A. Havens is a concordance of Erickson's concepts and knowledge. Havens manages what few achieve, a scholarly and erudite overview of one of the most brilliant and prolific writers of the twentieth century and one of the greatest thinkers, practitioners and innovators in the field of hypnotherapy. Havens writes with clarity and in a style that makes Erickson's work both accessible and engaging not only to those already familiar with his teachings but equally to those who are learning about hypnosis for the first time. Erickson's simple and audaciously revolutionary concepts are explored in brief chapter introductions followed by examples of his teachings and philosophy gleaned from 140 texts: ideal for those wishing to refresh earlier encounters with Erickson's work.'' - Gordon Paull .DCHyp, Lecturer and Student Mentor for the BST Foundation and Diploma of Higher Education in Clinical Hypnosis awarded by St Mary's University College, Twickenham, London
