An Uncommon casebook

Booknews

Erickson's apparently atheoretical methods were unusual and at times shocking. This collection offers an often amusing look at the cases of this unorthodox psychotherapist. O'Hanlon and Hexum have compiled and summarized hundreds of his published and unpublished cases, organizing them by types of clinical problems. Each case summary is followed by a brief review listing the presenting problem, age group, modality, problem duration, treatment length, result, follow-up, techniques and sources. Annotation c.
