About the Author

Michele Ritterman, Ph.D. pioneered the integration of hypnosis and family therapy, and has trained thousands of psychotherapists in her approach to working with couples and families. One of Milton Erickson's leading students, she originated the concept of the symptom as a trance state -- shared and separate-track trances -- in family and couple interactions, and also the development of therapeutic counterinductions. Dr. Ritterman is a prolific author whose work has been translated into several languages. Also a dedicated activist, she has served as a spokesperson for Amnesty International and other human rights organizations, and her book, Hope Under Siege, with a foreward by Isabel Allende, consders the applications of psychotherapeutic principles in the larger context of political and social reality. In Dr. Ritterman's words, "Reciprocity is the highest form of love. And love has everything to do with healing."
