Description
Narrated by Jay Haley, this 60-minute documentary offers an intimate and far-reaching portrait of this remarkable individual's life and work. You'll learn how Erickson overcame numerous adversities in his early life - dyslexia, complete paralysis from polio at age 17, and chronic pain - and how these events formed the genesis of his development as an innovator in hypnosis and therapy. Featuring abundant footage of Erickson during interviews and therapeutic sessions, many of which have never been previously released, you'll learn more about the man and his work through fascinating interviews with his colleagues, students, patients, and family members. This inspiring portrait of one of the most humane therapists of our time will enrich the lives of anyone interested in the extraordinary potential of the human spirit.
