«Changements: paradoxes et psychothérapie» is an essay by Paul Watzlawick, John H. Weakland and Richard Fisch (Seuil, paperback, in French).
Foundational work of the Palo Alto school and the Mental Research Institute that analyses why human problems persist and why attempts to change them tend to perpetuate them. It proposes intervening in the present, focusing on the «what» rather than the «why», and using communication, paradox and humour as therapeutic tools.
French edition of 189 pages, number 130 in the Points Essais collection; the English original was published in 1974 as Change: Principles of Problem Formation and Problem Resolution.
Reference work for therapists, psychologists and philosophy readers interested in human communication and the systemic approach of Palo Alto.
Paul Watzlawick was an Austrian-American family therapist, psychologist, communication theorist, and philosopher. A theoretician in communication theory and radical constructivism, he commented in the fields of family therapy and general psychotherapy. Watzlawick believed that people create their own suffering in the very act of trying to fix their emotional problems. He was one of the most influential figures at the Mental Research Institute and lived and worked in Palo Alto, California.
