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.
