- Short Description:
- Address at the International Congress on Ericksonian approaches to hypnosis and psychotherapy which emphasized the therapeutic potential of language structure over content. Watzlawick critiqued traditional psychotherapy's reliance on reason and linear causality, advocating for techniques like learning the patient's language, avoiding negations, and using metaphors and stories. He also highlighted the importance of non-verbal communication and the right hemisphere's role in therapy. He also discussed the paradoxical nature of reality and the therapeutic use of paradox, suggesting that our perception of reality is more a language game than an objective truth.
