During the past several years, we have developed strategies for inducing people to persuade themselves to change dysfunctional attitudes and behavior. Compared with more traditional, direct techniques of persuasion like advertising, self-persuasion produces more powerful, more permanent effects. Specific reference will be made to our research on reducing racial prejudice in schools and risky sexual behavior in young adults.
This address shows how clients can learn to get better rather than just feel better. They can learn to make a profound philisophical change, maintain it, and make themselves remarkably less disturbable even in the face of serious adversities.
