Product Description

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Systemic thinking and practice, 9 Jun 2009
By Patrick J. Savage - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A true classic in every sense of the word and a 'must read' for anyone interesting in systemic thinking and ideas. The Milan team, influenced by Bateson, took his ideas and wove them into their model of practice. Viewed by some, now, as out of date with the present day preoccupation with narratives and post modernist influences, it is refreshing to go back and re-connect with the energy and inspiration contained in this book. At the time, the Milan team's ideas and contribution to systemic thinking and practice was seismic. In my view, their contibution has stood the test of time.
