First sentence: In this chapter we describe applications and extensions to couples of the "brief problem-focused therapy" developed over 25 years ago by Richard Fisch, John Weakland, Paul Watzlawick, and their colleagues at the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in Palo Alto (Weakland, Watzlawick, Fisch, &amp; Bodin, 1974; Watzlawick, Weakland, &amp; Fisch, 1974; Fisch, Weakland, &amp; Segal, 1982; Weakland &amp; Fisch, 1992).
