«Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit?» is Paul Watzlawick's essay on perception and communication, published by Piper in paperback (251 pages).
Watzlawick shows, with examples and communicative situations, that everyday reality is a construction based on language and communication. Deception, suggestion and expectations can distort perception; understanding these mechanisms helps question one's own certainties and understand misunderstandings and paradoxes.
Subtitled «Wahn, Täuschung, Verstehen», it belongs to the Piper Series, number 174. This German edition is from 1995; the work was originally published in 1976.
For readers of psychology, communication and philosophy interested in Paul Watzlawick's constructivist approach.
Paul Watzlawick was an Austrian-American family therapist, psychologist, communication theorist, and philosopher. A theoretician in communication theory and radical constructivism, he commented in the fields of family therapy and general psychotherapy. Watzlawick believed that people create their own suffering in the very act of trying to fix their emotional problems. He was one of the most influential figures at the Mental Research Institute and lived and worked in Palo Alto, California.
