This session examines a family's long-term struggle with codependency and the emotional toll it takes on adult children.

Watzlawick explores the evolution of therapeutic language from insight to action, critiquing linear models in favor of systemic, behavior-focused approaches.

Through performative techniques and behavioral prescriptions, therapists can help shift perceived reality and foster meaningful adaptation.

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 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.
