Watzlawick is a noted family therapist; he is recipient of the Distinguished Achievement Award from the American Family Therapy Association. Also, he is author, co-author or editor of eight books on the topics of interactional psychotherapy, human communication and constructivist philosophy.

He formulated five axioms. They are:

It is not possible to not communicate. Every behavior is some kind of non-verbal communication.
Every communication has a content. In addition, there is 'metainformation', which says how the communicator wants to be understood.
All partners involved in a communication process also interpret their own behaviour during communication.
Human communication involves both verbal and non-verbal communication. In addition to the spoken words, there are is also a non-spoken part (gestures, behavior, intonation..) which is part of the communication.
Communication between humans is either symmetric or complementary. This is based on whether the relationship of those communicating is based on differences or parity.
