From the Author

The theory of structure determinism applied to therapy.
This is a readable and thought-provoking book that applies Humberto Maturana's theory of structure determinism to the field of psychotherapy. The book advances ideas that will challenge ingrained assumptions regarding processes of communication, causation, control and change. The proposed model for understanding what makes human beings "tick" can obviously serve as a helpful, general guide for those who practice psychotherapy. In addition, this framework may also be of significant benefit to anyone who is in the business of influencing other human beings.

From the Back Cover

This down-to-earth guide to practicing therapy does full justice to the autonomy of individuals and the centrality of language to the human experience. It provides new insights into the core issues of change, control, and personal choice.
