Ericksonian Research

Jeff and Steve,

I will be entering a doctoral program in clinical psychology next month and would like to do my dissertation on some aspect of Ericksonian Hypnosis. While I have read the obvious source materials ( e.g. books by and about Erickson, clinical hypnosis journals, W. Matthew's work on indirection/metaphor, the Monographs, even a dissertation by B.Geary [ of the Ericksonian Foundation]), I am having trouble finding "hard" empirical research on Erickson. Could either of you direct me to anything that I could be missing? Also are there any particular topics that either of you feel are especially noteworthy and should be investigated? I look forward to hearing from ya'll and anyone else out there who would like to comment on this topic.

Thanks,

Tony Floda
