Paradox and Counter Paradox A New Model in the Therapy of the Family in Schizophrenic Transaction

Paradox and Counterparadox introduces the English-speaking public to the first results of a research plan drawn up my the Milan Center for Family Studies at the end of 1971 and put into practice at the beginning of 1972. The book reports the therapeutic work carried out by the authors with fifteen families, five with children presenting serious psychotic disturbances, and ten with young adults diagnosed as schizophrenics in acute phase. The reader will recognize, in the cases presented, the stimulating originality and efficacy of this approach, one whose interest exceeds the purely clinical and which offers new points of departure for an ecologic vision of human relationships.Palazzoli, Mara S. is the author of 'Paradox and Counter Paradox A New Model in the Therapy of the Family in Schizophrenic Transaction' with ISBN 9781568213057 and ISBN 1568213050.
