An Ericksonian Approach to Sleep Problems:
Waking up to Individual Opportunities
Robert B. McNeilly, MBBS, DObstRCOG
Instead of trying for a diagnosis of the cause of the sleeping problem and treating that,
there is a place for asking “What s missing for this individual?” and begin to look with that
person to assist them to find it, so normality can return. Two distinct categories are outli-ned,
and corresponding clinical approaches are discussed. A case is made to go be-yond
some simplistic formula, to offer more than relaxation, so the individuality of each
client can be respected, and the approach tailored to that individual. Cases are presen-ted
from the work of Milton H Erickson, and from my own practice to illustrate the use of
this approach clinically.(Sleep and Hypnosis 2000;1:36-39)
