their desired change; families natural resistance to change will promote them to rebel against the
directive to not change, thereby experiencing the initial desired change

, positioning - Answers a paradoxical intervention of pushing a family member further into the absurdity
of their initial position, thereby making them realize their own absurdity independently

prescribing the symptom - Answers paradoxical intervention through instructing clients to intentionally
engage in the behavior they wish to change; they may either rebel against the therapist's directive and
experience desired change or comply with therapist's directive and become aware of their control over
choosing to continually engage in the undesirable behavior

that therapy has been effective and that they are experiencing change, the therapist encourages them
to slow down and caution them about the risk of changing too fast

directives - Answers specific, directed behavioral tasks for the family to engage in different behaviors in-
session and then carried out into the home between sessions

work for them to maintain problem symptoms or behavior than it would be to change them

hierarchy and reinforcing that parents are in charge of the children; therapist will break neutrality and
intentionally align with parental subsystem

unbalancing - Answers intervention where the therapist intentionally sides with one family member
over the other, meant to disrupt homeostasis and encourage change at the behavioral and structural
level

presenting symptom as metaphor - Answers symptom was redefined as a metaphor of a larger problem

addiction to marijuana)

problematic behavior
