Two models of brief strategic therapy: the MRI model and the de Shazer model.
This paper presents and compares two models of brief strategic therapy: the MRI model, and the de Shazer model. Both models were implemented simultaneously in a community mental health child clinic. Each model is presented, and then illustrated by a case study. Apparent are the benefits that can be gained through exposure to each model, and the point that premature integration of the models might detract from the processes. The staff members' experience with the two models, and the differences in the therapist attitude are discussed.
