Our Story
The Milton H. Erickson Foundation is a globally recognized and highly influential organization in the field of psychotherapy. The Foundation offers conferences; training workshops, including the Intensives and Master Class; a rich and expansive archive; the Erickson Foundation Press, which publishes books on Ericksonian-related topics and studies of Erickson’s methods; a newsletter; tours of the home (now a museum) where Erickson lived the last decade of his life; online continuing education; and a soon-to-be-released subscription-based service that will provide access to a vast library of digital media.
Milton H. Erickson, MD (1901-1980), was a renowned psychiatrist and one of the world’s leading practitioners of medical hypnosis. He became known for his brief, strategic approaches to psychotherapy that included the use of utilization, orienting toward, tailoring, and gift-wrapping. Stricken with polio when he was 18, Erickson recovered but several decades later endured post-polio syndrome, which eventually made him wheelchair bound. Milton Erickson was a profile in courage. Despite his chronic pain and afflictions, he tirelessly worked helping and teaching others in his private practice and seminars. And he rarely charged the students he mentored, including one young psychologist named Jeffrey K. Zeig.
Like several of whom Erickson taught and mentored, Zeig sought Erickson out in the early 1970s after hearing of him and his innovative methods. For the next several years, Zeig traveled to Phoenix to learn from Erickson, and eventually moved to Phoenix to be closer to him. In the late 1970s, Zeig began organizing a congress that would coincide with Erickson’s 79th birthday. He wanted to show Erickson his deep appreciation for all the years he spent as his student and house guest. As plans for the congress were underway, the need to establish a more formal non-profit educational foundation was recognized. In October of 1979, The Milton H. Erickson Foundation was incorporated, and Erickson and his wife, Elizabeth (Betty), and Zeig and his then wife, Sherron Peters, were the first board of directors. The current board of directors include: Helen Erickson, Roxanna Erickson-Klein, Camillo Loriedo, J. Charles Theisen, Bernhard Trenkle, and Jeffrey K. Zeig.
