This book argues for a reframing of some of the popular realities associated with modern-day public relations, using psychological and organizational change theory to critique the paradoxes of public relations theory and practice. By examining public relations through the lens of paradox, we can begin to identify the logical fallacies that have inhibited intellectual and practical progress and innovation public relations practice and theory.

Abstract	"Paradox in Public Relations: A Contrarian Critique of Theory and Practice is a thought-provoking exploration of public relations, aiming to promote changes in meaning and perception by creating new meta-realities for public relations. The term "Public Relations" was embraced by early practitioners primarily because it sounded more professional than the often-pejorative alternatives. This book argues for a reframing of some of the popular realities associated with modern-day public relations, using psychological and organizational change theory to critique the paradoxes of public relations theory and practice.
