Product Description Milton H. Erikson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Closely related to his therapy was his use of "teaching tales." Calling upon shock, surprise, confusion—with generous use of questions, puns, and playful humor—he seeded suggestions indirectly and positively with these tales, here gathered together by Dr. Rosen.

Remember Your DreamsSeptember 9, 2009 Paul Letendre(Massachusetts, USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I heard about this book from a number of sources over the last three years. Maybe it's because I'm a psychology major, or because I've recently become fascinated at the marvel of hypnosis, but I couldn't hold out any longer on reading about the world's foremost hypnotherapist and the techniques he employed to produce powerful, positive changes in his clients.
Erickson's use of metaphor and language is top notch. I read the book every night before bed for a few weeks and started to notice effects in my own life from his indirect suggestion in the text. For instance, I started remembering my dreams more vividly.
I highly encourage you to read this book if you are interested in learning about hypnosis, Erickson, want positive change in your life, or want to be fascinated with the powers of the mind.
Also check out 'The Structure of Magic' and 'Frogs Into Princes'.
Strange anecdotesJanuary 29, 2009 Peter McCluskey(San Bruno, CA USA) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a book of short anecdotes about a therapist who seems unusually skilled. It has some entertainment value, but it's hard to learn much from them. It tells me little about whether NLP as typically practiced is valuable because it sounds hard, maybe impossible, to teach much of the skills involved.
Milton Erickson, Take IIJanuary 12, 2008 Robert St.George(Mesa, Arizona USA) 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
My interest, and fascination, with Milton Erickson's approach to psychological issues came about as a result of reading, "Uncommon Therapy" by Jay Haley. The many examples of Erickson's unconventional approach were an intellectual treat to read, consider, and extrapolate upon. In attempting to follow this train of interest, I purchased "My Voice Will Go With You - The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson" edited with commentary by Sidney Rosen. Rosen's examples of Erickson's therapy are not as numerous nor as pointed. And, to further dilute the adventure, Rosen offers lenghty analysis, sometimes quite strained in my opinion, of Erickson's motives and or thought processes in arriving at solutions or providing advice to patients. Whereas I would wholeheartedly recommend "Uncommon Therapy" I cannot do the same for "My Voice Will Go With You." It is more a pendantic study suitable for, perhaps, psychology students with a goal of ferreting out every last detail of Erickson's practice. For those of us fascinated, intrigued, surprised, and entertained by Erickson's unique take on people and behavior, we will have to look elsewhere for a good follow up to "Uncommon Therapy."
