Description
Amazing and Miraculous are words that are often used to describe paradoxical interventions. The approach has a reputation for using counter-intuitive methods to disarm treatment resistance. The technique is best known for ‘prescribing the symptom’ and ‘positive re-framing’. The approach gained notoriety in the 1970’s when it was practiced by ‘master therapists’ including Milton Erickson, Salvador Minuchin, Fritz Perls, Virginia Satir, and others. Of the many types of therapy, the absurd (Bugs Bunny) nature of pdxi makes it fascinating to implement and observe. Although noted for its success, there was one problem. The mechanism behind the approach remained a mystery! No one could figure out a concise theory of how or why it worked. This book offers counter-intuitive insight into the ‘method behind the madness’, and therefore has a surprising way of turning conventional wisdom upside-down. Eliot P. Kaplan, PhD, LCSW is the founder and director of The Asylum for Paradox Psychology - NYC.. He specializes in working with the 'difficult' client; including addictions, anger, borderline personality, OCD, sexual aggression, and other 'hard to treat' issues. He offers a clear explanation of the difference between paradoxical interventions and its ‘evil twin’ - reverse psychology. A Google search found no other clinicians dedicated to the art and science of utilizing paradox in treatment. As a result, this means that Dr. K is ‘The World’s Most Paradoxical Therapist’. He practices in New York City, and offers Z%m training and supervision for those who are ready to take the leap beyond EFT, IFS, EMDR, etc. For 'live' video clips and contact info check www.ParadoxPsychology.com.
