Interview with Janet Bavelas – microanalysis of communication and the ‘theory of SF’

Paolo Terni has published an interview with Janet Beavin Bavelas at http://www.briefcoachingsolutions.com/interview-with-janet-beavin-bavelas-ph-d/.  Janet has been a key figure in the development of Brief Therapy approaches since her co-authoring of the classic ‘Pragmatics of Human Communication’ with Paul Watzlawick in 1967 (when she was a very young woman!).  She is very actively involved in working on microanalysis of sf conversations with Harry Korman and others, and this is a great chance to read about her, her work and her hopes for the future of the field.   Well worth a read!
