This volume demystifies paradoxical psychotherapy, which has often been described as "magic" because of its rapid results and striking effectiveness with highly resistant, difficult to treat individuals and families. The authors carefully explicate the theoretical basis of this increasingly popular approach to psychotherapy, outline the assumptions and operating principles, describe a wide range of paradoxical techniques, and demonstrate these in action through examples and case studies with individuals, couples and families. Both novice and experienced therapists will welcome this comprehensive, practice guide to this exciting therapeutic approach.
