Watzlawick, Paul
- Abstract
The article presents a reprint of an article on behavior prescriptions in psychotherapy which appeared in the books "Family Therapy Evolving, Proceedings of the VIII International Delphic Symposium and Family Therapy" and "Paul Watzlawick: Insights May Cause Blindness and Other Essays," by W.
