- Short Description:
- This workshop explores how rigid, self-reinforcing behavioral patterns—“games without end”—can be disrupted through meta-level interventions. Drawing on Bateson’s systems theory and Erickson’s clinical methods, the discussion covers strategies like benevolent sabotage, paradox, and behavior prescriptions that shift entrenched dynamics. Practical examples include work with perfectionism, sexual disconnection, and resistant teens. The role of language, suggestion, and therapeutic relationship are central themes throughout.

- 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.

- This workshop spotlights directive therapy—an action-driven approach where therapists take an active role in guiding change. Instead of passively listening, practitioners assign tasks, offer strategic advice, and use creative interventions like ordeals to spark progress. With real-life cases ranging from relationship struggles to bulimia and sexual masochism, the session shows how targeted directives lead to quick, meaningful results. Topics include shifting dynamics in couples therapy, motivating resistant clients, and making brief therapy both effective and impactful—all while maintaining clear boundaries and professional focus.
