While many of the articles contained in Volumes 1-8 of this series have appeared on the CD-ROM The Complete Works of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. (now out of print), and on the more recent Neuroscience Edition CD-ROM of the Collected Papers (released in 2006, and available online at the Foundation Bookstore) most of this material has not appeared in print in more than 40 years. Volumes 9-11 and 13-16 of this series were originally published by Irvington Publishers, and these have been out of print for a decade or more. Volume 12 is entirely new. Additionally, all of the introductory material and some chapter updates are unique to this series. Future volumes will be made available as materials from the archives of the Milton H. Erickson Foundation are assembled and edited into thematic collections.

Though he died in 1980, Dr. Erickson remains a seminal force in hypnosis and psychotherapy. He added more cases to psychiatric literature than any therapist in history. This series presents his groundbreaking studies in therapeutic hypnosis, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and research. The Collected Works of Milton H. Erickson, M.D. will be a treasured addition to any library.
