In the introduction to the live client session, Michaels responses to the interviewers, Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos, contain much that is very familiar to NLPers: the importance of asking How? rather than Why? the emphasis on specific goals, determining the resources that are needed, strategizing how to elicit and sequence those resources, and being sure that they are available in the appropriate contexts. Although familiar, it is refreshing to hear it so clearly from someone who does not consider himself to be a NLPer.
In addition to Milton Erickson, Michael mentions the major influences on his work as being Jay Haleys strategic therapy, Aaron Becks (cognitive therapy) pragmatism, Allen Funts ability to interrupt patterns, Virginia Satirs emphasis on planting seeds, and the basic orientation of solution-focused therapy. He describes his work as an approach that emphasizes focusing on psychoeducation: providing information about choices.
