Milton H. Erickson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Part of his therapy was his use of teaching tales, which through shock, surprise, or confusion - with generous use of questions, puns and playful humour - helped people to see their situations in a new way.
In this book Sidney Rosen has collected over one hundred of the tales. Presented verbatim and accompanied by Dr. Rosen's commentary, they are grouped under such headings as: Motivating Tales, Reframing and Capturing the Innocent Eye.
