RE: Dealing with people who are not interested

["Vic Forte" <vic@vichara.f9.co.uk>]

I was interested in Morris Taylor's reply, and it kind of made me
think that there was more for me to learn. So here are a few
questions.

Could you tell me a little more about the Milan Question, and where I
can learn more about it:

> More on the topic can be found in the writings of Gianfranco Cecchin
in

practice
> of psychotherapy' (both published by Karnac).

Unless I am being thick, it's not clear if the Milan question is
covered by these two books. It would save me some work if you could
narrow it down a bit. Would a layman be able to understand these
books? Would I have to read both books?

Is the Milan Question the same as the question:

> "Under what circumstances does a person's behaviour make
> perfect sense to them?"

Is this the Milan Question?

I don't really understand it that well.

Could you maybe try and help a little by expanding on it a bit?

Should I read Covey to understand the Milan Question? If so what
should I read?

Oh.

What does "metanoia" mean? I have just looked it up in the shorter
oxford dictionery ( that's the one with two volumes ) and can't find
it.
