The Satir Process

 

 

 

Edited by Dr. John Banmen

 

Virginia Satir's approach to therapy helped people change at a deep level, and this book sheds light on how that works. Most of these chapters first appeared in one of the best-selling issues ever of the journal Contemporary Family Therapy. A special edition devoted to current applications of the Satir model of family therapy, it offered international perspectives on various issues, from congruence to positive psychology, and from Family Reconstruction to spirituality.

 

Cross-cultural counseling, treating suicidal youth, and working with survivors of sexual abuse also feature here, as does the therapist's use of him- or herself as part of this systemic approach to counseling.

 

Critiquing, developing, and adapting the Satir model characterize chapters in this book. In his preface, John Banmen describes the evolution of that model over the past twenty years.

 

Dr William C Nichols, former president of both the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and of the International Family Therapy Association writes in the foreword "Virginia Satir--one of the few persons who generally would be recognized in the field simply by the utterance of her first name--...with a mixture of awe, questions, and intrigued interest..." After Virginia died, "the expressions were uniformly those of bereavement, loss, affection, and respect." Readers who do not already share such feelings may experience several glimpses of them as they enjoy this book..
