'There have been multitudes of books and theories on how to change people, but at long last, the authors in this book have looked seriously at the subject of change itself - both how change occurs spontaneously, and how change can be promoted.' - Milton Erickson, from the foreword to the original edition.

Incorporating ideas about human communication, marital, and family therapy, this book examines the nature of persistence and change. Change applies these ideas to the therapeutic effects of paradoxes and of action-oriented techniques of problem resolution. It asks the questions of how some problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances. In the foreword Erickson goes on to say, 'It is this phenomenon of change with which this book is concerned, the actual nature and kinds of change so long overlooked by the formulation of theories about how to change people.'
