Communication/Interactional theory and innovations in the application of these ideas in the practice of family and brief therapy -- not least of which is to be home of the MRI Brief Therapy Center (BTC). If the work of Don Jackson is the heart and soul of MRI, the articles in this new volume are its backbone. This new volume brings together a selection of the very best papers from the MRI Brief Therapy Center not an easy task for the editors. Consider that Fisch, Weakland, and Watzlawick published more than 250 articles and book chapters, and add the contributions of other BTC associates and the number grows to more than 400. The focus of this volume is on the most important papers written by John Weakland and Richard Fisch the pioneers of communication/interactional theory and brief therapy.
