Brief Therapy 2010
The Milton H. Erickson Foundation sponsored the first Brief Therapy Conference in San Francisco in 1988. That meeting doubled as the Fourth International Congress on Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy. Approximately 2,200 professionals from United States and 24 countries met at that conference to learn from preeminent practitioners of brief therapy. The proceedings of that Conference, edited by Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D. and Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D. were published in Brief Therapy: Myths, Methods, and Metaphors by Brunner/Mazel in 1990.
The Brief Therapy Conference is the only multidisciplinary conference on short-term approaches. Therapists/clinicians from major schools discuss and demonstrate their approaches. The stellar faculty has included representatives from Brief Psychoanalytic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, Ericksonian, and Solution Focused Therapy, to name a few. Through The Brief Therapy Conference practitioners learn how to practice in the managed cared environment.
