商品簡介
Erickson is a gentle giant in the psychoanalytic field, and this volume, reprinted from 1985, proves it. Here he engages in lively but focused conversation with fellow practitioners Jay Haley, John Weakland, and occasionally Gregory Bateson, talking about therapy, and especially about challenging and changing behaviors. This first volume in a three-part series focuses on individuals, namely their body image; voice problems, enuresis, and insomnia; headaches, unconscious conversation, and self-assertiveness; the unconscious insight and the use of analogies; alcohol and giving directives; inhibited Ann; classifying a person and starting therapy; failure and what is essential for change; some psychotic problems; ordeals, substituting symptoms, and puzzles; passing examinations; brief intervention into a performance problem; and verbatim interviews with a depressed man and a patient with phantom limb pain.
