This lively supervision panel offers contrasting clinical perspectives on real-world cases. Topics include the value of history-taking, present-focused interventions, and paradoxical techniques.

Short Description:
Explore the therapeutic power of asking clients to act “as if” things were already different. Drawing from Hans Vaihinger’s classic The Philosophy of As If, Watzlawick demonstrates how small, paradoxical interventions can help clients shift rigid patterns and construct more adaptive realities. Through case examples—including chronic pain, phobias, and anxiety—he illustrates how subtle behavior prescriptions and indirect language can bypass resistance and spark lasting change.

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.
