Hear hear! Thanks GSM. All that, and patterning and systems under different names, and even his "free association" is perhaps another way of talking about the metaphorical dialog so many have observed in Erickson's work. One thing I've been wondering for a while is whether what so many people took for a content model was actually a process model invested with a lot of figurative language, because it's what he had to work with. He had Sophocles & Shakespeare, the current medical science of the time, but no Bateson nor Korzybski. And probably no information science at all. Gives you a taste of how people can differently code their observations, and how that code be reinterpreted in ways that would be unrecognizable to the original modeler. best, JS |
