書籍簡介

為什麼有些問題仍然存在，而有些問題已經解決了。

這本經典的平裝書首次面世，探討了為什麼有些人能成功地改變自己的生活，而其他人卻不能。

在這裏，著名心理學家保羅·瓦茲拉維克提出了一個至今仍被認為是激進的觀點:解決問題的方法內在地植根於問題本身。

圍繞着持久和變化的古老問題，這本書提出了為什麼在某些情況下問題會出現並持續存在，而在另一些情況下卻很容易解決。

結合了人類溝通、婚姻和家庭治療、似是而非的治療效果和以行動為導向的問題解決技術的觀點，《改變》吸引了很多心理治療領域的人。

Why some problems persist while others are resolved. 

This classic book, available in paperback for the very first time, explores why some people can successfully change their lives and others cannot. Here famed psychologist Paul Watzlawick presents what is still often perceived as a radical idea: that the solutions to our problems are inherently embedded in the problems themselves.

Tackling the age-old questions surrounding persistence and change, the book asks why problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances but easily resolved in others. Incorporating ideas about human communication, marital and family therapy, the therapeutic effects of paradoxes and of action-oriented techniques of problem resolution, Change draws much from the field of psychotherapy.
