The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond Paperback – October 31, 2006

I am long retired, but am immersed in the subject of the sel-defeating and illogical behaviors of many or most of the people I interact with. My corporate management experience left me baffled at why so many of us act in ways that are opposite our desired outcomes. This has lead me to spend consierable time reading and discussing psychotherapy, systems and compexity theory, My reading has lead to the conclusion that most authors agree on the mechanisms, but attach the problems from different points of view using various models and phrases to support their approach. I find The Satir Model the best of the lot by far, both in its detail and its message.Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond

Easy to read, the book isn't overloaded with jargon and is a great place to start for a beginning therapist that wants to know more about the Satir Model. I like this model because I can use it with my individual clients.

Wonderful description of Satirs counseling techniques.

Virginia Satir is an icon of early family therapy. This is a new look at the family system.

Best book I've read for those desiring to understand & use the Satir approach to family & individual therapy.

A great book! It has not only helped me have more of an understanding about relationships, it has helped me help my clients!

Interesting study guide to a new/ different means of psychology

Worth the read.
