ERICKSON, M.D. (1901-1980) was generally recognized as the world's foremost authority on the induction and utilization of trance states, as well as being the master of brief therapy. He pioneered ?naturalistic? induction techniques, hypnotic utilization, metaphorical and sub-conscious communication, and the use of behavioral tasks in order to effect change. In his various capacities as a practicing psychologist and psychiatrist, professor and lecturer, founding president of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, founder and editor of the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, and author of over one hundred books, articles and papers, Milton Erickson demonstrated again and again an uncanny recognition of, and respect for, the patterns that make each person who they are.?
