Pragmatics of human communication : a study of interactional patterns, pathologies, and paradoxes by
Paul Watzlawick(
Book
)
59 editions published between 1946 and 2014 in English and held by 1,578 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Called one of the best books ever about human communication, and a perennial bestseller, Pragmatics of Human Communication has formed the foundation of much contemporary research into interpersonal communication, in addition to laying the groundwork for context-based approaches to psychotherapy. The authors present the simple but radical idea that problems in life often arise from issues of communication, rather than from deep psychological disorders, reinforcing their conceptual explorations with case studies and well-known literary examples. Written with humor and for a variety of readers, this book identifies simple properties and axioms of human communication and demonstrates how all communications are actually a function of their contexts

Die dort entstandene Kommunikationstheorie wurde im Wesentlichen aus der Erforschung von Paradoxien der menschlichen Kommunikation und ihrer Störungen gewonnen

Traite du problème de la communication sous un aspect particulier: comment la communication crée la réalité, ou comment la réalité est l'effet de la communication. L'auteur illustre ses propos à partir de nombreux exemples tirés de contextes différents, puis tente d'en dégager une certaine structure et des conclusions. Trois parties: 1. Confusion (les brouillages qui se produisent involontairement) - 2. Désinformation (obstacles pouvant survenir quand on recherche l'information) - 3. Communication dans des domaines où elle n'existait pas jusqu'à maintenant (avec les animaux, avec les extra-terrestres)

Changements : paradoxes et psychothérapie by
Paul Watzlawick(
Book
)
19 editions published between 1975 and 2014 in French and held by 238 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
La 4e de couverture indique : "Comment, dans les relations humaines, les impasses apparaissent-elles? Qu'est-ce qui fait que, souvent, nos tentatives de provoquer un changement ne font que nous emmurer dans un jeu sans fin? Il y a des changements qui ne sont que source de la permanence. Dire "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" équivaut, si l'on prend les choses par l'autre bout, à affirmer que ça change quand on s'y attend le moins. La technique ici proposée se situe délibérément à la surface : barrer le pourquoi? - question qui porte sur les causes "profondes"--Pour mettre en avant le quoi? - interrogeant une situation ici et maintenant. Un chemin est frayé dans la forêt des paradoxes humains, qui va de Russel, Wittgenstein et Bateson à Groucho Marx. Entre la logique et l'humour, une thérapie est mise en place qui ne prétend point guérir autre chose que notre rapport présent à autrui."
