| Résumé : |
The Palo Alto studies still serve as a reference to researchers who examine communication processes.
None of them refutes the principle of cogenerating relational systems formulated by Paul Watzlawick and his friends, adopting for themselves the interactive approaches, in the context of a pragmatic observation method the applications of which have concerned, from the beginning, group dynamics and brief psychotherapy.
But although we ought to consider, one after the other in terms of validity, the axioms that result from this observation as a state of the context and the forces present, determining a place for exchanges liable to build or to modify its actors, we should also recognise the limits emphasised by Watzlawick himself of a systematic, literal interpretation of cause and effect, which require in-depth research using the communicational circles described by the Palo Alto School.
Some pursue their thinking further in this direction, anxious to preserve the speculative capacity of the approach.
For there is no question of saying one is a Palo Altoan as some declare themselves to be Freudian, or even Lacanian. The heuristic conscience is not satisfied with either exhaustiveness, or a proselytes contentment, which by nature is reductionist.
What makes the vitality of a logic, a fortiori of communication, is the possibility of questioning it then prolonging the debate that it launches.
Without excluding a return to Palo Alto. |
