Synopsis

At the core of this book is the theme of transformation, not through the elimination or addition of any part of ourselves but through the reorganization of what we have, which often lies buried deep within. The goal of the marital therapist is transformation - to alter unproductive, limiting communication sequences and to expand the interactional repertoire of the couple. This text aims to provide a practical and in-depth examination of one of the most powerful approaches to working with couples in therapy - to facilitating transformation - Ericksonian hypnosis. Divided into 10 chapters, the book delineates the steps to effective intervention in marital therapy. Like Erickson, Carol Kershaw has deep respect for the individual and shared realities of couples who seek treatment - respect that comes through at every stage of intervention and that provides the necessary momentum for therapist and couple alike to reach the next stage.
