Milton H. Erickson, MD, American psychiatrist who was trained in medical hypnosis as well as family therapy. 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. He began to regain control over his body by focusing on these memories until he could speak and use his arms again. Milton Erickson, his doctor, recommended that he exercise his upper body only. To build up strength for college, he planned a 1,000 mile canoe trip. He was challenged, but he was eventually able to walk with the aid of a cane.

Ericksonian hypnosis differs from traditional hypnosis by a number of methods. 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 created many new communication patterns and concepts that revolutionized hypnotherapy.
His hypnotic orientation was the basis of many innovative psychotherapeutic strategies that Dr. Erickson used to treat individuals, couples and families. 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 was a pioneer in modern psychotherapy. Ericksonian perspectives that were once considered extreme have been incorporated into mainstream practice.
