    Theoretical compatibility
    by Fredrik Haglund, 6/4/98

    This thread has made me think of some questions. Aren't different theoretical traditions more or less compatible with Erickson's approach? From my understanding, a psychoanalytical theoretical foundation would not be as compatible with Erickson's approach as a systemic/interactional view. Though both can potentially limit the therapist if followed blindly.

    Erickson's approach seems to me to be the theory of a 'no-theory' in a Zen or Tao like way. To teach Erickson's approach from other theoretical perspectives, seems to me to be robbing it of its essence.

    Comments would be much appreciated.
