The Paradoxical Self
Toward an Understanding of Our Contradictory Nature
Book • 1990
Drawing on existential psychology, Dr. Schneider develops the paradox principle to explain why many people develop extremist psychological patterns ranging from withdrawal to aggression.
The book argues that people become dysfunctional when they fear either the capacity to yield and focus or the capacity to assert and incorporate.
Schneider applies his model to various dysfunctional syndromes and demonstrates its relevance to psychological health, creativity, physical health, religious and social organizations, child rearing, and personal development.
