An Ericksonian method is one that is essentially experiential, based on heuristic principles rather than algorithmic formulas. This is a phenomenological approach, individualized to the unique circumstances of the client. We will review Milton Erickson's contributions in historical context and describe essentials of the approach. The presentation will include a clinical demonstration of Ericksonian Therapy.

Learning Objectives -- Participants Who Attend This Workshop Will Be Able To:

* Describe four essentials of an Ericksonian Method
* Given a patient, indicate how to incorporate experiential methods.
