Stuckness,Unpredictability and Change

This paper is based on Brian Cade's keynote address to the Fifth Australian Family Therapy Conference in Canberra, but also includes some things he had intended to say and excludes some that, on reflection, seemed less important. Some of the ideas presented here have been elaborated more fully in a chapter in G. Weeks (Ed.) 1985 Promoting Change Through Paradoxical Therapy, Dow Jones-Irwin, Homewood, Illinois.
