Propagations

Thirty Years of Influence from the Mental Research Institute

By: John H. Weakland

Here is a work of profound clinical scope from some of the foremost leaders in psychology. Propagations, written by alumni and disciples of the Mental Research 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. Chapters range from the theoretical to the case study, tied together by the theme of how this amazing institute has profoundly 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.

Change: Principles of Problem Formation and Problem Resolution

By: Paul Watzlawick,John H. Weakland,Richard Fisch

Why some problems persist while others are resolved. This classic book, available in paperback for the very first time, explores why some people can successfully change their lives and others cannot. Here famed psychologist Paul Watzlawick presents what is still often perceived as a radical idea: that the solutions to our problems are inherently embedded in the problems themselves. Tackling the age-old questions surrounding persistence and change, the book asks why problems arise and are perpetuated in some instances but easily resolved in others. Incorporating ideas about human communication, marital and family therapy, the therapeutic effects of paradoxes and of action-oriented techniques of problem resolution, Change draws much from the field of psychotherapy.

Power to Change

By: John Dan

POWER TO CHANGE differentiates between mere cosmetic change & substantive change, then shows how relationships can be revitalized. One of the dawning realizations of our age is that in spite of all the hue & cry for change, social conditions invariably become more adversarial & chaotic, taking an enormous economic & emotional toll on the human spirit. Family therapist John Dan points the way out of this human dilemma, using data shared but often overlooked from both behavioral science & the Biblical writers. He shows how the Christians' view of the Trinity & the behavioral scientists' understanding of human response can both be enlisted to bring about psychological/spiritual healing & personal transformation. Graphs showing Christ's work on the Cross dramatically illustrate this healing process & what precisely must take place to emancipate & empower people to take control of their lives & effect healthy, complementary relationships. Reviewers have likened this to Scott Peck & Tom Harris's books in terms of appeal & breaking new ground in both spiritual & psychological fields. Written in easy-to-read, non-technical language even the layman can understand & benefit from.
