From William James to Milton Erickson: The Care of Human Consciousness
This is a book about how William James and Milton Erickson have helped shape the modern conceptualization of human consciousness and its care.

It does not matter if you are a serious student of James and Erickson or someone who is freshly introduced to their work; this book offers clarity and a deeper understanding of what Jamesean psychology looks like when masterfully applied to clinical care.
