| Summary |
"This is a book about the strategies of psychotherapists and patients as they maneuver each other in the process of treatment. How a therapist induces a patient to change, and why the patient changes, is described within a framework of interpersonal theory. A variety of methods of psychotherapy are described with the general argument that the cause of psychotherapeutic change resides in the therapeutic paradoxes these methods have in common. Such diverse forms of therapy as psychoanalysis, directive therapy and family therapy appear different when viewed in terms of individual psychology, but the methods can be shown to be formally similar if one examines the peculiar types of relationship established between patients and therapists. Since this approach focuses upon the relationship between two or more people rather than upon the single individual, the emphasis is upon communicative behavior. When human beings are described in terms of levels of communication, psychiatric problems and their resolution appear in a new perspective. This book is the result of the author's investigation of methods of psychotherapy from the point of view of the paradoxes posed by psychotherapists"--Preface. |

"The author Jay Haley is not a psychotherapist but a communications analyst. Haley more than any preceding worker has utilized the insights of communication analysis to discover a common factor in various methods of psychotherapy as well as to devise psychotherapeutic interventions which can be strikingly effective. He is very much concerned with the need for an efficient and economical approach to emotional problems and for a descriptive system that takes into account all those others who are involved directly or tangentially in a pathological system"--Foreword.
