Paradoxical intervention

based on the German version "Paradoxe Intervention"

 

Description

Are designed to alter the self-sustaining nature of a symptom by interrupting the reinforcing feedback loops that maintain it through engaging in opposite behavior. (From:Encyclopedia of Human Behavior (Second Edition), 2012)

 

For example: The client fears failure, so the therapist asks the client to fail at something. Your 4-year-old resists brushing her teeth, so she's told she isn't allowed and may end up doing it out of spite.
