The Lord of Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, leads us in a new historical, linguistic, naturalistic and temporal dimension. Through evocative ideas and indirect sugges-tions, we can observe time distortion, the use of the language, multilevel commu-nication, and focusing on the resources, with other fundamental aspects of the hypnotic ericksonian psychotherapy.
