description: Ericksonian Monographs No. 4presents a richly stimulating collection of articles which deal with three extremely important areas of development in Ericksonian work: research, integration within the practice of other therapies, and medical applications.While the aim of the Ericksonian Monographsis to reflect the growing influence and applications of the work of Milton H. Erickson, it must be remembered that Erickson himself disapproved of schools of therapy, believing that any school focuses on its own delimiting approaches as the "right" way and excludes others as the "wrong" way to do therapy. He felt that the individuality of the patient and of the therapist is foremost and emphasized that psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual's needs.It is this spirit of intellectual freedom that inspires theEricksonian Monographsas a vehicle that will contribute to the comprehension and practice of effective treatment by therapists of many different theoretical schools.
