Here is a work of profound clinical scope from some of the foremost
leaders in psychology. Propagations: Thirty Years of Influence From
the Mental Research Institute, written by alumni and disciples of
the Institute (MRI), is not just a compliment to the MRI influence,
but also a way for readers to discover and savor the important
contributions of those influenced by the MRI. The book contains the
cutting edge thinking of some of the most respected clinicians from
across the globe. The authors describe their application of ideas
pioneered at the MRI, demonstrating its broad influence on present
day leaders of family and brief therapy. Chapters range from the
theoretical to the case study, tied together by the theme of how
this amazing institute has widely impacted therapeutic thought. The
book clarifies the depth and power of the MRI influence, which
extends to theory, all aspects of psychotherapy practice, other
professions, and other lands. Propagations offers outstanding
conceptualizations, teaching, writing, and clinical and
non-clinical therapy ideas that are immediately useful to
clinicians, academic researchers, students, and other individuals
interested in how people change.The book's introduction provides
background information on MRI and includes a condensed transcript
of a "trialog" which took place between Jules Riskin, Paul
Watzlawick, and John Weakland conveying MRI's origins, traditions,
and ethos. Propagations then breaks into four sections. Influencing
Fields of Interest and Viewpoints examines MRI influence beyond the
specific field of psychotherapy. Influences on Clinical Work looks
at MRI's influence on professional groups and contains
clinicians'reflections on how contact with MRI theory and practice
has influenced their work. Changes in Venue shows utilization of
MRI approaches across cultural and professional borders, while The
Outer Reaches looks beyond the specifics of psychotherapy. This
inviting book reflects a wide variety of approaches, styles, and
subjects, and ranges from preliminary musings to formal reports.
This diversity offers a useful example of how new ideas and related
practices develop and diversify from a broad common core. Readers
can discover how interactional principles are being implemented in
different nations, practice settings, and theoretical applications.
Family and brief therapists, counselors and counselor educators,
and professionals in related fields will find Propagations a source
of useful information, thoughtful recollection, and stimulation for
future activities.
