title: Paradoxical techniques in strategic family therapy: a behavioral analysis.
abstract: Accounts of paradoxical intervention with individuals are appearing increasingly in the behavior therapy literature. As yet little attention has been given to the use of such interventions with families. The present article examines their use in the context of strategic family therapy, the assumptions of which are briefly stated. The treatment of a case of family discord is described, and a behavioral analysis of its effects is provided.
