Re: Erickson and supervision

Hi Britta

Erickson did not supervise me in the traditional sense of providing an analysis of the case and suggetions for interventions. Sometimes he did give me suggestions for interventions, but they were very brief. Rather, Erickson elicited resources in his students. His supervision resembled his hypnosis and his therapy. He stimulated into play previously dormant capabilities. He was not especially involved in psychoeducation.

I hope that helps. For more information see my book, Experiencing Erickson (Brunner Mazel, 1985)

Regards,

Jeff
