Translator disclaimer

This article examines the central assumptions and therapeutic techniques of paradoxical intervention. The author also offers an assessment of the paradoxical possibilities open to clinicians using transactional analysis. Particular attention is paid to the TA concepts of ego states and transactional patterns and the ways they can be used to formulate paradoxical intervention strategies. A case example is presented to illustrate the combination of paradoxical strategies with TA concepts.
