Milton H. Erickson, M.D.: An American Healer

Review
"The Spirit of Milton Erickson lives in this book by his family and colleagues. Here is a man who cut through all the data and techniques to perceive the individual in front of him. With that simple human skill, he was, by all accounts, a genuine healer. I love the humanity of this book, its subject, and its authors. I learned a great deal and hope to put it into practice. This would be a perfect book for therapists, doctors, teachers, and parents, showing them how to see deeply into another s situation and find the words, sensible or serendipitous, to calm and heal." --Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Dark Nights of the Soul: A Guide to Finding Your Way Through Life s Ordeals.

The Problem of Evil: Ancient Dilemmas and Modern

The Problem of Evil: Ancient Dilemmas and Modern Therapy

by Eric Greenleaf, Ph.D.

from Zeig, Tucker & Theisen, Inc

"For individuals, evil may exist in the form of enacted imagery, as with sexual sadists; of the misuse of trance, as seen in the negative voices that remind, direct, and afflict us; and of the betrayal of relationship and trust. This book is organized around cases dealing with the resolution of the consequences of evil."

Review
Eric Greenleaf has not only written a book, he's created a rare opportunity to experience and connect with what makes us human and in that connection realize the power to enlarge, expand and extend goodness in our lives and in the world. In a variety of ways he demonstates what is needed to enlarge the conversation so that the deeper knowing in us all has an opportunity to speak.

Milton H. Erickson MD and The Art of the Oral Tradition

By John S. Parke PsyD
ABSTRACT

Most writers on Erickson openly state that the essential aspects of his work are intractable to formulation. This dissertation asks why such a recognition of theoretical incompleteness exists despite various scholarly attempts to write about and conceptualize his work. The hypothesis proposed is that Ericksonâs work is conducted in an oral mode of communication and thought. Abstract formulation, and writing are literate acts and therefore present a problem for the Erickson scholar. To address these issues, Erickson's work is reviewed and interpreted from a framework of orality.
