ABSTRACT
FOREWORD Much has been thought and written about paradoxes-indeed a whole type of therapy has been named after it. In my opinion, so much has now been written about therapeutic paradoxes that I get the feeling I am dealing with a "gnawed and old bone" about the state of which there is very little left to write. The most important articles and books have already been written (for detailed bibliographical notes, see Weeks & U Abate, 1982).
