Who Was Milton Erickson, And How Did He Impact Society?
October 29, 2009 8:55 pm ReferenceOnce there was a brilliant doctor named Milton Erickson. He was responsible for creating what is now called the Milton Model of communication. The Milton Model is a way to use “artfully vague” communication, so your listener kind of fills in the gaps.
Dr. Erickson was famous for curing people of all kinds of personal problems from fear of elevators to chronic alcoholism. And the amazing thing about this was that he did it all through only a couple of sessions. Not only that but he did it largely by telling seemingly simple stories. But these stories had an incredible depth of life changing metaphors that really helped his clients.
Today, people use the Milton Model for sales, seduction, and even writing blog posts like this one.
