Followers of Dr. Milton H. Erickson are sure to find pleasure and education in Hope and Resiliency, a new analysis of his philosophy and work.

By Hugh Gunnison
When I first saw the title of Hugh Gunnison's Hypnocounseling, I was intrigued by the concept of blending the legacy of two men who made some of the most significant contributions to the practice of humanistic psychotherapy in the twentieth century. Like most counselors and psychotherapists, I studied Carl Rogers in graduate school and was quite enthralled with his book, On Becoming a Person (1961). Beginning a career as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner a few years later, I, like so many other before me, became immersed in anything I could learn about Milton H. Erickson. What a delight to find a book that integrates and pays tribute to the work of these two geniuses! More...

Inner conflict is a common human affliction. Consider the smoker who knows cigarettes are a health hazard, but who, nevertheless, cannot kick the habit.
