This text is intended to provide a tutorial approach to some of the techniques used to deal with quantum dissipation and irreversibility, with a special focus on their applications to the theory of measurements. The main purpose is to provide a reader without a deep expertise in quantum statistical mechanics with the basic tools to develop a satisfactory solution of quantum paradox.
