The Situation is Hopeless But Not Serious
by Paul Watzlawick
Anybody can be happy, but it takes extra effort and learning to make oneself unhappy. For those who aren't talented enough to create their own hell, this book offers help and encouragement. Calling upon metaphors, vignettes, and certain other "right hemispheric" language games, Dr. Watzlawick shows how we can (and do) make everyday life miserable and inflate trivialities beyond recognition. All readers will be both amused and startled to find themselves in this book, but there is special delight and enlightenment for therapists and counsellors. A great read, highly recommended. |

Change - Principles Of Problem Formulation & Problem Resolution
by Paul Watzlawick
This book deals with the age-old questions of persistence and change in human affairs. More particularly, it is concerned with how problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances, and resolved in others. It examines how, paradoxically, common sense and logical approaches often fail and in doing so compound an existing problem, while seemingly "illogical" and "unreasonable" actions succeed in producing the desired change. The book incorporates concepts of human communication, interactional (i.e., marital and family) therapy, the pathogenic and therapeutic effects of paradoxes (double binds), and of action-oriented rather than origin-oriented techniques of problem resolution. |

The Language of Change
by Paul Watzlawick
In this ground-breaking book, a world authority on human communication and communication therapy points out a basic contradiction in the way therapists use language. Although communications emerging in therapy are described to the mind's unconscious, dark side, they are habitually translated in clinical dialogue in the supposedly therapeutic language of reason and consciousness. But, Dr. Watzlawick argues, it is precisely this bizarre language of the unconscious which holds the key to the realms where alone therapeutic change can take place. This book is a gold mine of valuable information for all serious therapists. |
