Intervention techniques in therapy are diverse day by day. Being familiar and utilizing different interventions enable mental health providers to provide more effective services. Based on this perspective in this study we have examined paradoxical techniques used in both individual and couple therapies are examined. The main purposes of the study are to inform mental health providers (a) about the background of these techniques and (b) how these techniques are utilized effectively with unwanted situations to facilitate a more productive counseling process. These paradoxical intervention techniques are more likely to enable clients or counseltees to look at their issues from a different (e.g., creative hopelessness, exaggeration, humor) perspectives and gain an insight about their issues. In this way the client gains a sense of self-control over the issue and becomes more functional. These techniques are used more in postmodern therapies effectively to address clients’ biopsychosocial spiritual issues.
