- Short Description:
- Watzlawick explores the “therapy of as if,” showing how behaving as if change is possible can shift a client’s reality. Drawing from philosophy, hypnotherapy, and paradox, he illustrates how small interventions—like self-fulfilling prophecies or shared metaphors—can break unhelpful cycles. Zerka Moreno adds insights from action-based methods, including role reversal and sociodrama, to deepen perspective and foster movement.

- Short Description:
- Watzlawick challenges the assumption that insight into the past is the key to change. He explores how insight can sometimes reinforce dysfunction rather than resolve it. Drawing from Ericksonian methods and constructivist theory, he presents alternatives such as reframing, behavior prescriptions, and planned chance events. The address offers a compelling look at how therapists can shift client realities by speaking their language and disrupting unhelpful patterns in the present.
