Milton Erickson taught that symptoms were a breakdown of relations between people. Looking at personal or family traumatic problems through this lens it is relatively easy to recognize the existence and connection between past and present disordered relationships. More importantly, the required experiential resources that individuals need to correct these conditions becomes apparent. Once identified, therapy can concentrate on helping trauma-suffering clients acquire needed experiences and help clients learn to use them systematically and appropriately.
Skills and experience, research and theory ... each plays a central role in the development of effective therapy practice. And then there is something else. When we recall the work of such figures as Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Carl Whitaker, we detect another layer: artistry. Surprisingly, artistry is something that can be taught, or more accurately, expanded. Everyone has the capacity. And it is artistry that brings forth all of that skill, experience, research and theory in effective and generative ways.
