This classic book, now published in paperback for the very first time, deals with the age-old questions of persistence and change. It asks questions about why some problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances, but in other instances are resolved. It examines how, paradoxically, common sense and logical approaches often fail while seemingly "illogical" and "unreasonable" actions succeed in producing the desired changes.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This classic book, available in paperback for the very first time, explores why some people can successfully change their lives and others cannot. Here famed psychologist Paul Watzlawick presents what is still often perceived as a radical idea: that the solutions to our problems are inherently embedded in the problems themselves. Tackling the age-old questions surrounding persistence and change, the book asks why problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances but easily resolved in others. Incorporating ideas about human communication, marital and family therapy, the therapeutic effects of paradoxes and of action-oriented techniques of problem resolution, Change draws much from the field of psychotherapy. Why some problems persist while others are resolved. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780393707069
