Short Description:
Watzlawick explores the evolution of therapeutic language from insight to action, critiquing linear models in favor of systemic, behavior-focused approaches. Drawing on figures like Franz Alexander, Jean Piaget, and Milton Erickson, he illustrates how change often begins by acting "as if" transformation is possible. Through performative techniques and behavioral prescriptions, therapists can help shift perceived reality and foster meaningful adaptation.
