A Tribute to Elizabeth Moore Erickson

Colleague Extraordinaire, Wife, Mother and Companion

by Marilia Baker, MSW
Type: Softcover

This portrait of Milton Erickson’s wife reveals her unique contributions to his work, as well as her own productive life. The author follows the tapestry of Elizabeth’s life, beginning with childhood, the circus, and the first moment of courtship, when Milton spotted Elizabeth as he looked out the window. Then and there he declared with certainty that he was going to marry her! The chapters interweave Elizabeth’s varied roles, as psychology student, author, editor, proofreader, hypnotic subject, wife, hostess and mother. She worked alongside her husband at the dining room table to help produce the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis and facilitate the comfort of many patients who Dr. Erickson treated in their living room. Includes a special family photo album, a foreword by Roxanna Erickson-Klein and Betty Alice Erickson, and a collection of articles by Elizabeth Moore Erickson.
