User talk:Martin Robert PhD

Dr Roberts has variously been described as a non-orthodox management thinker, occasionally as a change management guru and less frequently as a heretic.

He is credited with being the originator of the "Well Formed Problem model". This model provides a mechanism for accurately defining what needs to be changed in an organisation prior to commitment to a possible change process. The model was first demonstrated in the Echotech Centre at Cranfield University in the late 1980's and was subsequently incorporated into a number of the University's short course programmes dealing with change management. Roberts has developed many other change management techniques also and has written widely on this subject, his best known publication in this area being a book entitled Change Management Excellence.

In recent years Roberts has returned to his first love, clinical psychology. His focus here has been on developing a wider understanding of altered states of consciousness and the practical application of hypnotic states in therapy. He has been published widely in academic journals. His latest highly acclaimed work has been a book entitled Handbook of Hypnotic Interventions: Treating DSM-IV and ICD-10 Disorders.
