		As Paul Watzlawick puts it, "the whole family system is disturbed." He formed his theory of social interaction by looking at dysfunctional patterns within families in order to gain insight about healthy communication.
		Paul Watzlawick is one of twenty scholars who work with anthropologist Gregory Bateson on a study of interpersonal interaction as part of the entire system.
		Watzlawick believes it is hard to translate accurately between verbal and nonverbal channels.

	The Language of Change (Main Page)
		But, Dr. Watzlawick argues, it is precisely this bizarre language of the unconscious which holds the key to those realms where alone therapeutic change can take place.
		Watzlawick suggests that rather than following the usual procedure of interpreting the patient's communications and thereby translating them into the language of a given psychotherapeutic theory, the therapist must learn the patient's language and make his or her interventions in terms that are congenial to the patient's manner of conceptualizing reality.
		Paul Watzlawick is an associate at the Mental Research Institute, Palo Alto, and clinical professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, Stanford University Medical Center.

	Linus Geisler - Doctor and patient [5]: How real is reality?
		The phenomenon of differing realities and their relationship to transactions in communication has been described in particular detail by Paul Watzlawick in his book "Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit?" (How real is reality?), which should be read by anyone concerned with communication.
		Watzlawick: "In spite of the fact that both see the same thing (event), they both attribute different meanings to it, and experience two completely different realities from it".
		Watzlawick gives the example of gold: "The first order reality of gold (that is its physical characteristics) are completely known and can be verified whenever necessary.

	Notes
		Paul Watzlawick, author of How Real Is Real (1976), a little anecdotal book with a big subject, should not be held responsible for the ideas presented here.
		Watzlawick's "anecdotal introduction to communications theory"--as his publisher, Vintage Books, has described it--may well be be one of a million or two- reasons why our Board has chosen to defend your planet, it is by no means the only one.
		Your Satanic Holy Men, who sow seeds of assassination and harvest death, who sanctimoniously spit venom and hatred out of their prayerful mouths, ought to be singled out by Galactic Olympian Deities and IMPEACHED before the courts of god and man. They teach you to hate.

	Amazon.fr : How Real Is Real?: Confusion, Disinformation, Communication: Livres en anglais: Paul Watzlawick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-03)
		Watzlawick waltzes with ease and elegance through semantic traps, pitfalls in logic and all the other contraptions by which 'people can drive each other crazy' or, as he so correctly observes, by which they 'communicate'....This is popularization in the best sense, that is, where complexity is not simplified but clarified." -- Heinz Von Foerster
		It is only in recent decades that the confusions, disorientations and very different world views that arise as a result of communication have become an independent field of research.
		One of the experts who has been working in this field is Dr. Paul Watzlawick, and he here presents, in a series of arresting and sometimes very funny examples, some of the findings.

	Quote of the Day
		That’s what’s real!" Paul Watzlawick (1990), a noted therapist from the United States, once said in answer to this question that "as far as I know, the belief in ‘real’ reality has survived only in psychiatry’ (1990, p.134).
		As Watzlawick indicated, there seems to be a substantial belief that reality and meaning are created by the individual experiencing them: that there is no ‘real’ reality.
		As Watzlawick (1990) has stated, if these people do believe that reality is constructed, they "assume that all other reality constructions are false" tp.137) and they behave in a manner that opposes or attacks those other constructions.

		The Palo Alto Group was a group of researchers engaged in study of schizophrenia, etc. at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California in the 50's and 60's, under the clinical guidance of Don Jackson and the theoretical guidance of Gregory Bateson
		Watzlawick refers to the relational aspect of interaction as "metacommunication."
		Reframe: means to change the conceptual and/or emotional setting or viewpoint in relation to which a situation is experienced and to place it in a new frame which fits the "facts" of the same concrete situation equally well or even better, and thereby changes its entire meaning.

		The anecdotal layout of Watzlawick's writing makes for an informative and fascinating read. Through no fault of the author's some of the anecdotal stories are a little dated due to the time of publication such as when he writes about cold war situations in his disinformation sectiom.
		But let that not mislead you: While Paul Watzlawick's book is terribly interesting and thought-provoking, it also very easy to read, entertaining and amusing.
		Watzlawick cleverly intertwines interesting anecdotes with basic tenets of human communication in such a way that the reader can't put the book down.

	Amazon.de: Munchhausen's Pigtail, or Psychotherapy & "Reality" Essays and Lectures: English Books: Paul Watzlawick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-03)
		The quotation marks in the title matter; for systems therapist Watzlawick of the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, Calif., reality is no absolute, but a construct, or "interpersonal convention," built of "first-order" facts and the "second-order" meaning ascribed to them.
		Though Watzlawick's prose can be convoluted and vocabulary obtuse ("scientificity," "enantiodromy"), his controversial arguments, especially when illustrated by case studies, are provocative and frequently persuasive.
		This collection of essays and lectures by a practising psychotherapist explains how readers can change their perception of reality to suit their needs rather than adhering to a fixed view, thus avoiding the consequences of self-imposed limitations.

		According to Dr. Paul Watzlawick (1978), and Linda Williams (1983), these include: condensations, figurative language, giving bits of the whole, ambiguities, puns, allusions, visual imagery, fantasy, evocative language, metaphor, and multisensory language.
		This phenomenon based on the "pars-pro-toto principle" (Watzlawick, 1978), lets the right hemisphere have immediate recognition of a totality on the basis of one essential (unspecified) detail.

	Wa: Positive Atheism's Big List of Quotations
		Man never ceases to seek knowledge about the objects of his experiences, to understand their meaning for his existence and to react to them according to his understanding.
		Finally, out of the sum total of the meanings that he has deduced from his contacts with numerous single objects of his environment there grows a unified view of the world into which he finds himself "thrown" (to use an existentialist term again) and this view is of the third order.
		While the question whether the mind can be considered to be anything like a formalized system, as defined in the preceding paragraph, is probably unanswerable, his quest for an understanding of the meaning of his existence is an attempt at formalization.

		Although communications emerging in therapy are described to the mind's unconscious, dark side, they are habitually translated in clinical dialogue in the supposedly therapeutic language of reason and consciousness.
		But, Dr. Watzlawick argues, it is precisely this bizarre language of the unconscious which holds the key to the realms where alone therapeutic change can take place.
