Description
Description:
Milton Erickson frequently advised students of psychotherapy to study Anthropology so that they could provide therapy from the perspective of the client’s culture. Erickson uses his cultural orientation knowledge to assist an adolescent who has a speech defect. This case is an excellent example of how strategic and systemic approaches can be applied to other presenting issues.
A 16-year-old boy was unable to understand his speech due to his stuttering. Erickson understood that the boy’s speech problem was not due to a speech impairment. A speech therapist would likely be necessary. Rather, the boy’s stutter reflected familial expectations and pressures placed upon him which were based in his Middle Eastern heritage, and then transposed onto his life in U.S. Erickson’s use of cultural understanding and utilization methods proved successful in symptom removal.

Milton H. Erickson, MD, American psychiatrist who specialized on medical hypnosis, family therapy and psychiatry. He was the founder of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis. His approach to the unconscious mind is creative and solution-generating.
Erickson suffered from severe physical handicaps throughout his entire life. Erickson was severely paralysed by polio at the age of 17 and doctors thought he would die. While recovering in bed, almost entirely lame and unable to speak, he became strongly aware of the significance of nonverbal communication – body language, tone of voice, and the way that these nonverbal expressions often directly contradicted the verbal ones. He also began to have “body memories” of the muscular activity of his own body. Concentrating on These memories allowed him to slowly regain control of his body parts until he was able to speak and use his arms again. His doctor suggested that he exercise his upper body only. Milton Erickson wanted to be strong enough to go to college so he planned to take a canoe trip of 1,000 miles. Although he did not fully use his legs by the end of the adventure, Erickson was able walk with a cane.
Ericksonian hypnosis differs from traditional hypnosis by incorporating a variety of different approaches. Although hypnosis is traditionally thought of as the issue of a therapist giving standardized instructions and then leaving the patient, Ericksonian therapy emphasizes the importance of an interactive therapeutic relationship and the purposeful engagement of the subject’s inner resources and experience. Erickson brought many innovative concepts and communication patterns into the field of hypnotherapy.
Erickson’s hypnotic outlook was the inspiration for many of his innovative psychotherapeutic methods he used in treating individuals, couples, families, and children. Although he was known as the world’s leading hypnotherapist, Dr. Erickson used formal hypnosis in only one-fifth of his cases in clinical practice.
Dr. Erickson made a significant shift in psychotherapy today. Ericksonian principles are now mainstreamed in modern practice.
