Abstract

It was a coincidence that I was asked to talk about “resis- tance” at Ground Rounds at the University of Texas, Depart- ment of Psychiatry, on the tenth anniversary of mailing the first version of “Death of Resistance” to a journal in 1979. Although the paper was subsequently rejected 17 times and revised six times, it was eventually published in Family Process (de Shazer, 1984). I still insist that the concept of resistance was a bad idea for therapists to have in their heads.
