SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dan Short discusses his ideas on the most likely source of inspiration behind the genius of Milton Erickson by turning to, William James, in his new book, “From William James to Milton Erickson: The Care of Human Consciousness” (published by Archway Publishing)
The book explores topics, such as truth, freedom of choice, unconscious cognition, and then uses the psychological discoveries of William James to help explain “the clinical brilliance” of Milton Erickson. Short posits that both individuals have remained somewhat of an enigma, even many decades after their deaths. But the author goes on to suggest that a more nuanced picture emerges upon an examination of James’ “intellectual genius” on the clinical work of Milton Erickson.
“This book provides practical tools for those who have dedicated their lives to helping others, but also the type of penetrating insights that have the potential to change one's own life,” Short says.
