This article examines certain central assumptions inherent in the work of Milton Erickson, including his emphasis on the individual's uniqueness, his rejection of theory, and his belief that the clinician must accept and join the client's reality in order to utilize that reality to bring about change. The implications of Erickson's views for transactional analysis are also examined with an emphasis on the relativity of any theory as a representation of “reality.”
