Construction and Use of Linguistic Causal Modeling

important role, both negative and positive, in the process of discovery itself. By
pushing a precise but inadequate formulation to an unacceptable conclusion, we
can often expose the exact source of this inadequacy and, consequently, gain a
deeper understanding of the linguistic data. More positively, a formalized
theory may automatically provide solutions for many problems other than those
for which it was explicitly designed.
This volume represents our effort to perform this same service for the
field of hypnosis.
When Erickson recognized this skill, he expressed the hope that this
volume would be constructed so that other practitioners of hypnosis would have
available to them his powerful tools and techniques. It is the authors' intention
in this first volume to present to you some of the patterns of Erickson's behavior
in hypnosis. We intend to give you, in an easily learnable, step-bystep manner,
an explicit model which will make these skills available to you in your own
work. This book has three stages or levels of modeling, each represented by a
separate part.
Part I contains several of Erickson's articles, exciting examples of his
own work. We will present a parallel commentary that will identify the patterns
in his behavior. The patterns we will identify do not, by any means, exhaust
what is present in Erickson's work. This volume is designed only to begin this
process, and, at the same time, to present the most essential elements of
Erickson's language patterns.
In Part II we will take these patterns and sort them into natural
groupings. Hopefully, this will provide you with an overall way of both
understanding Erickson's work and organizing your own experience in
hypnosis. Our purpose is to familiarize you with these patterns, and to show
examples in which they occur in
Erickson's work. This will be accomplished by excerpting small
portions of various published articles about his work, most of them of a
transcriptual nature.
Part III of this volume is a step-by-step, explicit presentation of the
patterns identified in Parts I and II. This Part is intended to give you the skills
necessary to construct each pattern through an understanding of its formal
characteristics. Our belief is that in this way the patterns of Erickson's behavior
will be made available to you for use in your own work.
We strongly recommend that you read this volume carefully
and that you spend some time experimenting with each pattern. This book is
designed primarily as a training manual, not as a novel. Careful use and re-use
will reap the best rewards for you.
Milton Erickson is internationally acclaimed as the
leading practitioner of medical hypnosis. He has written more
than a hundred professional articles on hypnosis and has taught
and practiced hypnosis since the 1920's. He, more than any other
human being in this field, has been able both to explore and to
demonstrate the vast potentials that hypnosis has to offer human-
ity. His ability baffles the scientific mind, and his accomplish-
ments, typically. are either viewed as miracles or denounced as
impossibilities, although first-hand experience presents him as
an undeniable reality, a striking contrast to what most people
believe is possible for the mind to accomplish. Furthermore, few
of his students have learned to exercise the skills in hypnosis
that Milton Erickson uses so easily. The behavior Milton
Erickson demonstrates while both inducing and utilizing
hypnotic states of consciousness is extremely complex. Yet he is
very systematic; that is, his behavior has distinctive patterns.
Our skill is in building explicit models of complex
human behavior. What this means is that we build maps of these
complex patterns of behavior and these maps then allow other
people to learn and use these behavior patterns. We quote Noam
Chomsky's remarks1 concerning his initial formulation of a
model for modern transformationallinguistics.. . . forms part of
an attempt to construct a formalized general theory of linguistic
structure and to explore the foundations of such a theory. The
search for rigorous formulation in linguistics has a much more
serious motivation than mere concern for logical niceties or the
desire to purify well-established methods of linguistic analysis.
Precisely constructed models for linguistic structure can play an
