People would travel from all around the world to Phoenix, Arizona to learn about Milton Erickson’s approaches to psychotherapy. These sessions, conducted in front of a group of diverse students, became known as Erickson’s Teaching Seminars.

This video excerpt is from one day of these teaching seminars. In this clip Dr. Erickson demonstrates how we has able to create a practical solution for a family whose daughter had issues with uncontrollable tantrums. By involving the daughter to participate in her own therapy, Dr. Erickson was able to help her understand how to redirect her energy to a more useful outcome.

We invite you to observe Erickson as he taught, as he practiced hypnosis, and enjoy this video of this remarkable day that illustrates many points about Dr. Erickson’s experiential approach to psychotherapy here.
