Paul Watzlawick die Biografie

In the world's first biography of Paul Watzlawick, Andrea Köhler-Ludescher meticulously traces the entire life journey of the philosopher, therapist, and bestselling author. The adventurous life of this linguistic talent spans from his childhood in Villach, through his studies in Venice after the war, his training as an analyst with C.G. Jung in Zurich, attempts to establish himself as a therapist in India and then in El Salvador, to the USA, at the Mental Research Institute of Don D. Jackson, a highly respected scientific colleague. There begins the second part of his life, his remarkable career as a communication researcher, pioneer of systemic therapy, radical constructivist, and great thinker bridging the divide between East and West. Andrea Köhler-Ludescher allows Paul Watzlawick to speak through numerous letters, lectures, interviews, and statements from contemporaries.
