Abstract
Psychotherapy historically has operated within an expert model context. Within this frame, patients present their symptomatology to the therapist expert for diagnosis and intervention. The work of Milton Erickson has offered an alternative perspective in which the idea of the problem is shifted from one of pathology to one in which the individual’s strengths and resources are utilized. This paper discusses the Ericksonian approaches from a postmodernist narrative perspective. Ericksonian hypnotherapy is considered from this epistemological frame, particularly the role and value of expectancy in creating a new therapeutic narrative.
