This thinker used the example of dogs fighting to demonstrate how play creates metacommunicative relationships. “Repeated experience” and a “primary negative injunction” are central to a concept formulated by this thinker with psychotherapy theorists John Weakland and Donald Jackson. This thinker claimed that Alcoholics Anonymous followed systems theory in the essay “The Cybernetics of ‘Self’.” A series of (*) “metalogues” with his daughter (10[1])opens a work by this thinker that puts forth a “double-bind” theory of schizophrenia. This thinker identified “schismogenesis” among the Iatmul people of New Guinea while documenting their naven ritual.
