title: Is there a place for paradoxical "maneuvers" in conventional psychotherapy?
abstract: This paper reviews the literature concerning the use and theoretical background of paradoxical maneuvers in conventional psychotherapy. By demonstrating a clinical example we highlight the usefulness of such an approach and the necessity for further research in finding valid indications and contraindications for its use.
