Description
A guide for students and practitioners interested in exploring paradoxical and strategic interventions from a systems perspective, this book provides first-hand documentation of Papp`s rich repertoire of clinical interventions, the results she has achieved with them, and step-by-step process by which the implementations are implemented. Her work is vividly illustrated by candid and detailed case studies that reveal, not only how the technique is applied, but also how it was arrived at and why it is particularly suited to the situation at hand.
