    Author: Di Donato R.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1981 May 12; 72(19):1189-94. PubMed ID: 7231773.
    Abstract:
    The main concepts of communication theory, particularly the various types of relationship--complementary, symmetrical, metacomplementary, paradoxical--are reviewed. Various forms of psychotherapy--psychoanalysis, hypnosis, etc.--are examined in the light of communication theory. It is concluded that all psychotherapeutic relationships involve a strong paradoxical tendency.
