From the reviews of the second edition:
"Segal, a psychotherapist, initiated this work as a transcription of von Foersters lecture material; but it evolved instead into interpretation of von Foersters ideas in accessible language. The appendix contains an interview with von Foerster himself. This second edition is essentially a reissue of the first but it incorporates corrections and clarifications that von Foerster added to the German edition ."
