Reviews

Milton Erickson was a Pioneer in the field of Therapeutic Psychology and Hypnosis--He was great at helping people overcoming there habitual limitations by reframing things, seeding thoughts, mining the unconscious to overcome childhood phobias and complexes--He was a master at using trance and Hypnosis to untangle emotional complexes---he battled with polio his whole life--He is truly an unsung Hero.
I also recommend his book "My voice will go with you "
This book can help a lot of people

This is really an ideological biography; it's not a novel of ambition like Atlas Shrugged, but it details the life of a man who took a parlor trick, or plain quackery and made it into a plausible therapeutic alternative. Tell me if you notice the Forrest Gump scene.
