Paradox Psychology is an approach that aims to advance the general field of psychology and treatment. These advances include: An approach that specifically addresses a 'hard-to-treat' or resistant client; A scientific understanding that supports a process for 'spontaneous change'; Unifying behavioral, cognitive, and psychodynamic orientations under a single umbrella theory; A science based model showing how treating secondary non-criminogenic behaviors (i.e.: anger, low self-esteem, poor social skills, etc.) will impact primary targeted (volatile)criminogenic behaviors (i.e.: violence, problem sexual behavior (PSB), fire setting, etc.) In addition, paradox psychology 'solves the mystery' regarding the counter-intuitive nature of paradoxical interventions. In doing so, the approach represents the logical extension of attachment theory as described by Bowlby and Ainsworth. While there are many treatment theories that address separate aspects of behavior, emotions, and thinking, this approach focuses on the obvious fact that man's entire existence is a 'living paradox'. This paradox is evidenced by the fact that we live in an animal body, but we walk upright with our 'mind in the clouds' ; our DNA is programmed to function via instinct, yet we prefer to assert free-will; we are smart enough to 'know better', but quite often repeat past mistakes. As such, it could be argued that the study of 'man as a paradox' is most closely aligned with our 'essence' as a human being. ==Master Therapists== While the paradoxical method was documented by Adler as early as the 1920s, its counter-intuitive style was always been difficult to explain. Adler once described the method as "spitting in the patient's soup"; meaning that the method had the ability to impact behavior without 'convincing or rewarding' the patient to change. From the 1960s through the 1980s many 'master therapists' incorporated the method with great success. They include: Milton Erickson, Viktor Frankl, Jay Haley, Salvador Minuchin, Fritz Perls, and others. The method proved to have a consistent ability (as described by many for) 'amazing results' with clients who presented a wide range of disruptive behavioral issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paradox psychology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
