This is a book about how psychotherapy may be used to cultivate the courage and freedom to love. In a time when love seems to be fading and hatred and despair rising, it presents love as a skill and force that can heal and invigorate, reconnect and guide, calm and encourage. In Gilligan's self-relations approach, psychotherapy is a conversation about competing differences. When these differences are treated violently or indifferently, problems arise; solutions develop when the skills of love are practiced. Those practical skills are described here, with an emphasis on postconventional ethics, Buddhist and aikido principles, and ideas of human sponsorship.

Stephen Gilligan closes his introduction to this collection of his writings on Erickson with, appropriately enough, a story. When asked how he might repay Erickson for his generosity over the years, Erickson said simply, by passing on to others what has been useful. Stephen Gilligan has been fulfilling that request ever since. The Legacy of Milton H. Erickson: Selected Papers of Stephen Gilligan is a labor of love that provides tremendous insight into the work of both men. After all, a large part of Erickson's legacy is the students he taught. And the progression of the enclosed papers shows well how the student becomes the teacher, with the content of the work remaining in place even as the context is changing. Divided into three sections - on theory, application, and transition- the papers trace the major tenets of Erickson's approach and demonstrate clearly that these are not merely of historical interest, but of vast and urgent contemporary significance. Three of Erickson's overarching concepts drive Gilligan's work now as in the past: the principle of utilization; the intelligence of the unconscious; and the mathematics of relationship, that is, the therapist and client have creative capacities together that are greater than either one has alone. This collection shines a light on the ongoing veracity of Erickson's approach and on the evolution of Gilligan's.

He is known for his work in hypnosis and psychotherapy, and was one of the contributors to the early development of neuro-linguistic programming. He has had a private practice in psychotherapy and has taught his approach to hypnosis and psychotherapy for the past 20 years. In the anthology, "Ericksonian Approaches to Hypnosis and Psychotherapy" (1980), his article, "Ericksonian Approaches to Clinical Psychotherapy," shows keen (one might say "remarkable") insight into the core of Erickson"s approach and style of "Indirect Hypnotherapy."
Where Erickson emphasized hypnosis as a communication, Gilligan took this as a starting point to pioneer a field he called self-relations psychotherapy, which takes Erickson"s viewpoint that all symptoms are communication.
His work uses the concept of "sponsorship," the acknowledgment, holding and naming of positive and negative feelings and experiences.
Gilligan is the author of several books on psychotherapy, including Therapeutic Trances (1986), The Courage to Love (1997), and The Hero"s Journey (with Robert Dilts, 2009). Gilligan received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in psychology from Stanford University.
He became a teacher and practitioner in the field of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. His Therapeutic Trances (1986) explains nine hypnotherapy techniques the patient can use to explore the self.
The cornerstone of the therapy is a process known as "sponsorship," where positive and negative experiences – including deeply traumatic experiences – are regarded as resources that need to be acknowledged, named and placed, a form of mindfulness.
Gilligan argues that each self contains a cognitive and somatic aspect, and that when the latter is suppressed or not fully under control, the sponsorship and mindful awareness of each self, or aspect, can bring healing. His most recent publication, Generative Trance: The Experience of Creative Flow explores the use of cooperation between the cognitive conscious part of the self, and the somatic unconscious to bring about generative trance experiences.
