Paradoxical Theory of Change
In this webinar, Dr. Lynne Jacobs will explore how therapists can move beyond being traditional change agents to become active partners in fostering awareness within the therapeutic field.
About this webinar
The paradox is that the more one tries to become who one is not, the more one stays the same (Yontef & Jacobs, 2008, p329).
Gestalt’s paradoxical theory of change suggests that when people allow themselves to be fully and aware in touch with who they currently are, change and growth then emerge as the inevitable and natural outcome of such contact and genuine self-knowledge. This view represents a radical shift from the more commonly accepted tradition of change which puts emphasis on upon client trying to change to conform. Working with paradoxical theory of change can be challenging for the therapist. The therapist needs to decline the role of traditional change agent and become an active partner to develop a greater awareness of all the forces in the field. In this webinar, Dr Lynne Jacobs will explain this Gestalt model of change.
