• The first generation was authoritarian, "knocking out" the conscious mind and programming the unconscious mind.

• The second generation, developed by Milton Erickson, respected the creative unconscious but not the conscious intelligence of the client.

• This third generation work emphasizes the complementary intelligences of the conscious and creative unconscious minds, and explores how to shift both to a generative level that allows significant transformational change.

• Integral to this generative level is the emergent presence of mindfulness, defined as a subtle field of self-awareness that permeates all contents of consciousness in a way that allows gentle and effective transformational work.
