David Gordon Shows Why He's the Master of Modeling

David Gordon has written a book that seems to have done something the others on this same subject have not; he has made the basic patterns of Milton Erickson very EASY to duplicate and USE. While I doubt that simply reading and using this book will creat Erickson clones, the patterns Gordon presents WILL allow you to use your own abilities to the fullest. An enjoyable read.

Instructional and Fun to Read

The book examines patterns in Dr. Erickson's creation, organization, and utilization of therapeutic interventions. What makes these patterns valuable is that they work - if you learn and use them you will be able to reproduce in your own therapeutic work many of the seemingly magical outcomes that are characteristic of Erickson's work.
