Karin Schlanger, MFT

History

I grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina and went to college at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, where I first heard about the Mental Research Institute (MRI) and their pioneering work in conflict resolution. I arrived in the States in 1983, and while living at Stanford University, immediately connected with John Weakland, Richard Fisch, Paul Watzlawick and Carlos Sluzki of the MRI. My license from Universidad de Buenos Aires was not recognized in the U.S., so I pursued a Master's degree at San Jose State and then received my license in 1991. I was made Senior Research Fellow at MRI in 1994, and have been Director of the Brief Therapy Center since 2008.
