PaulWatzliwak, noted author and psychologist, and died on March 31, 2007 in PaloAlto, California. He was 85 years old, and he had recently retired from theMental Research Institute in Palo Alto where he had been a mainstay of theirfaculty since 1960.
Watzliwak was an internationally known expert in communications theory, familysystems and family psychotherapy, and the author of 18 books and over 150articles which had been translated into 80 languages. His work with GregoryBateson, Don Jackson, and John Weakland维克兰德 in thedouble bind theory双重束缚理论of schizophrenia has long been recognized as aclassic in the field. His book "Pragmatics of Communication" was a bestsellerin Europe, and he lectured widely all over the world.
Perhaps what is not so well known is that Watzliwak originally trained at theJung Institute in Zürich, graduating from there in 1954. Paul was born andraised in Villach, Austria, and he received his Ph.D. in philology from Venicein 1949. Paul spoke five languages fluently. After receiving his Ph.D. hebecame a student at the Jung Institute in Zürich in the very early days whenthere were few students. He did part of his Jungian training in Rome where hewas in analysis with Ernst Bernhard, which counted towards his Diploma Trainingat the Institute.
After receiving his diploma from the Jung Institute Paul taught for one year inIndia and another year in El Salvador. In 1958 at the firstIAAP国际分析心理学会Congress in Zürich JohnRosen, the author of " Direct Analysis", was an invited speaker to the Congress.Paul went to work with Rosen in Philadelphia in 1958 and then moved to theMental Research Institute where he spent the remainder of his professional life.He he was a teacher in the department of psychiatry at Stanford and a frequentlecturer besides the author of the above-mentioned books.
One important contribution to English-speaking Jungians was his translation ofthe only paper which Toni Wolff wrote entitled, "Structural Forms of theFeminine Psyche". This was an important paper in the early training of Jungiananalysts. Although Paul disavowed all his earlier Jungian training, he remaineda member of the IAAP for many years, Jim Hillman had him lecture at the JungInstitute in Zürich during the early 1960s, and he spent roughly a decade of hisprofessional life as a Jungian.
