Walk-in single session and single session by appointment therapy services have been in existence for the past 50 years in North America. Dimensions of this approach were outlined in this journal in both 2008 and again in 2019 (Slive & Bobele, 2019, Slive, McElheran, & Lawson, 2008). In this introduction to the Special Section on Walk-In Single-Session and Booked Single-Session Services in Canada, the authors will provide an overview of some of the current walk-in single-session and booked single-session services in place and/or in progress at various locations across the country.

This research continues in the line of several previous studies in the micro-analysis of therapy dialogues that are making the abstract tenets of social constructionism directly observable. Here, we report the design and results of a microanalysis of calibration sequences in a therapy dialogue focused on a client's preferred future. This study makes observable how the therapist and client display their understanding to each other moment by moment in their miracle question conversation and tracks what content (i.e., meanings or understandings) are being co-constructed and accumulated utterance by utterance in their interaction. Implications for social constructionism, psychotherapy dialogues generally, future research, and practice effectiveness are discussed.

This work honors the work of the Mental Research Institute (MRI) in Palo Alto, California, upon the sale of the building it long occupied, and particularly the closing of the MRI Brief Therapy Center as a research and training center. The major position of the article is that the MRI was much more than a place, a name, or the people who have been part of it. Instead, the ideas and practices of those who have been part of the MRI are what endure and thrive. As a case in point, the author follows his own professional journey from his first contact with the MRI ideas as a “difference that made a difference” through his present day work.

The foundational ideas of the Mental Research Institute (MRI) can offer grounding to a therapist when working with dangerous or emotionally fraught situations. In this article, a beginning therapist discusses how these foundational ideas helped her overcome initial biases to work successfully with potentially dangerous court-mandated clients; helped her to handle an emotionally fraught situation in her own family; and clarified her work with a client in a potential domestic violence situation, which might have required reporting to child welfare authorities. Key MRI concepts including the theory of groups; the theory of logical types; first and second order change, cybernetics and positive and negative feedback; context-maintaining behaviors; attempted solutions which become problematic; and therapist maneuverability are discussed. Basic MRI interventions are defined and discussed, including but not limited to the go-slow directive, the dangers of improvement, making a “U-turn,” and how to worsen the problem. A case study is presented.

Therapeutic letters have been incorporated into psychotherapy for over half a century, being used for a variety of purposes, including recruiting non-attending members to therapy, implementing therapeutic interventions, summarizing client change, and termination. Therapeutic letters have been used by therapists from a variety of models, such as narrative, solution-focused, and strategic therapies. This article presents a format for writing therapeutic letters that focuses on temporality. These temporal therapeutic letters are structured to highlight the flow of a client's story: past, present, and future. By focusing on temporality, the temporal therapeutic letter acknowledges the client's initial limited identity, highlights their co-constructed resourceful identities, and reflects on the future implementation of those resourceful identities. Two temporal therapeutic letters are presented to demonstrate how therapists can compose this three-part format of letters.

In the wake of the closing of the MRI and its Brief Therapy Center, the author remembers its founders, Richard “Dick” Fisch, John Weakland, and Paul Watzlawick. Starting with Fisch's description of the beginning of the Center, the author goes on to describe his three kinds of interventions: planned, procedural, and of opportunity. Watzlawick's question about the disadvantages of change is given as an example of a procedural intervention and is explained with case examples. Weakland's many forms of challenging beliefs are presented as interventions of opportunity, and several case examples are given to illustrate this technique.
