[Audio Only] BT02 Short Course 21 – Short Questions/Lasting Impact – Richard Landis, PhD

Description:Description:

Erickson often saw the presenting symptom as the patient’s solution to a problem that might not be immediately evident. By identifying the core problem that the patient was trying to solve with symptoms, Erickson was able to create appearingly simple solutions that produced lasting changes. This short course is the central element taken from our Congress presentation that teaches therapists how to view symptoms, in that Ericksonian mind set, to find brief but lasting solutions.
