‘Paradoxical Intention’: A Therapeutic Technique for Fears, Phobias, Anxiety, Insomnia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
‘Paradoxical Intention’ (PI) is a revolutionary and hugely clinically successful, evidence-based, scientific technique developed by world-renowned Viennese psychiatrist and philosopher, Holocaust survivor and author of the internationally acclaimed bestseller Man’s Search for Meaning, Prof Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997), MD, PhD, who founded logotherapy (logos= meaning) and existential analysis.
Paradoxical Intention has an efficacy rate of 77.8% (indeed, some clinicians have reported an 88.2% success rate) in empirical studies and has proven particularly efficacious in the treatment of phobias and OCD. It is an easy-to-understand method, can be applied by anyone without necessitating a therapist or physician with practice, and consists of a few key elements.
Who is this technique for? It is intended for four specific groups of people:
- patients with fears, phobias, anxiety, panic attacks, and OCD
- families and friends of sufferers
- physicians/doctors/psychiatrists
- psychologists/psychotherapists/counsellors
You will receive a set of detailed notes in the form of a 55-page user's manual consisting of an overview of the method/ technique with a definition and description of PI, explanation as to how exactly it works so well, applications, illustration charts and diagrams, and over a dozen clinical case-history examples, as well as a step-by-step guide and easy-to-apply instructions on how to implement it yourself.
