Roxanna Erickson Klein

Roxanna Erickson-Klein is a Registered Nurse, Licensed Professional Counselor and Educator with an interest in professional publications focused on hypnosis and the treatment of addictions. She continues to publish her own ideas, teach, and maintain a private practice. She donates a considerable amount of time and resources to advance clinical hypnosis. Central in this mission, and in her work are preserving the primary writing and educational principles of the creative genius of her father, Milton H. Erickson.

In her childhood household, topics of ordinary conversation included hypnosis, trance, and conscious awareness. Daily discussions provided a deep foundation about the process, potential, and the multiple ways hypnosis can contribute to healing. Throughout her life, Roxanna has integrated the hypnotic principles that were naturally learned throughout her upbringing. Her father delighted in using family members as demonstration subjects for teaching professionals and at times with demonstrating to patients in his home practice. It is of note that Roxanna and her siblings enjoyed a front row seat to many of the cases included in these Works. It is heartwarming to reflect on fond memories of patients who sat with us in our living room and initiated conversations with family members.
