Description

 

Description: This live session presents a staged reading of a biographical play that brings Milton H. Erickson’s life, family, and clinical worldview vividly to life. Through dialogue, storytelling, and historical scenes, participants gain insight into how Erickson’s early experiences with illness, family, learning, and adversity shaped his distinctive therapeutic approach. The play offers a rare, engaging way to understand Erickson not just as a theorist, but as a human being whose personal life and clinical creativity were deeply intertwined.
