Friedman, Edwin H.

Friedman’s Fables. Includes 29-page booklet – “Friedman’s Fables: Discussion Questions”.

New York, The Guilford Press, 1990. 14 x 20.5cm. (8), 213 pages, with black and white text illustrations. Original hardcover with dustjacket. Excellent condition.

Edwin H. Friedman has woven 24 illustrative tales that offer fresh perspectives on familiar human foibles and reflect the author’s humor, pathos, and understanding. Friedman takes on resistance and other “demons” to show that neither insight, nor encouragement, nor intimidation can in themselves motivate an unmotivated person to change. These tales playfully demonstrate that new ideas, new questions, and imagination, more than accepted wisdom, provide each of us with the keys to overcoming stubborn emotional barriers and facilitating real change both in ourselves and others. Thought-provoking discussion questions for each fable are included. [From jacket notes]
