Publisher's summary

Milton H. Erickson, M.D. is generally acknowledged to have been the world's leading practitioner of medical hypnosis. His "strategic therapy," using hypnotic techniques with or without actually inducing trance, allows him to get directly to the core of a problem and prescribe a course of action that can lead to rapid recovery.

This audiobook provides a comprehensive look at Dr. Erickson's theories in practice, through a series of case studies covering the kinds of problems that are likely to occur at various stages of the human life cycle. The results Dr. Erickson achieves sometimes seem to border on the miraculous, but they are brought about by a finely honed technique used by a wise, intuitive, highly trained psychiatrist-hypnotist whose work is recognized as a major contribution to the field.

Uncommon Therapy is masterfully narrated by Brian Arens, an Audible listener favorite.

I loved listening to this book

I read this book in 2004-5 and was glad to have found the audio version of it. It’s full of wisdom nuggets, the narrator has done a brilliant job of narrating it. I actually went in trance multiple times while listening to it. The author has very carefully chosen the sequence of each chapter and added loads of interesting stories all over the book. If you’re a therapist or a student of hypnosis, this book is a must.

Magical!

Psychopathic behaviour is more common in normal people. Beware of the people around you.

Better Than Fiction

I couldn't get enough of these novel therapy tales. I listened at .65× to make it good and hypnotic. The narrator's voice sounded a bit more like recordings of Dr. Erickson that way.
