Right, the "ejaculatio praecox" article. In that case it was even more of a "lie," wasn't it, because he was getting the subject to believe it was a memory? I guess I sometimes have been so blown away by Erickson's tales of success (both with actual hypnosis stories and with "ordeal" stories) that I was relieved to read Rossi's claim that he usually stuck to the historical truth. It's easy to be skeptical about some of his almost supernatural claims.
I was also intimidated when I read Rossi's assertion, as I don't know if my own short and sheltered life contains all the material needed to make great metaphors for all clients!
Thanks for the lead on "Hypnosis: Its Renascence as a Treatment Modality." Any idea in what book that article might be found?
