«Une logique de la communication» is the essay by Paul Watzlawick, Janet Helmick Beavin and Don D. Jackson, published by Seuil in paperback.
Classic study of human communication that examines interactional patterns, paradoxes and communicative pathologies. The authors, linked to the Palo Alto school, apply logical and cybernetic models to normal and pathological situations, including the double bind, and propose a paradoxical therapy that prescribes the symptom itself.
The book is the French translation of 'Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies and Paradoxes' (1967) and belongs to the Points Essais collection (no. 102).
Reference work for students and professionals of psychology, communication and philosophy, as well as for those interested in the Palo Alto school.
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.
