Peoplemaking Paperback – January 1, 1972

by virginia satir (Author)
4.5 out of 5 stars 68 ratings
All of the ingredients in a family that count are changeable and correctable - individual self-worth, communication, system, and rules - at any point in time. Any piece of behavior, at a moment in time, is the outcome of the four-way interplay of the person's self-worth and body condition of that moment, his interaction with another, his system, and his place in time and space and situation. To explain his behavior, something needs to be said about all these facts, not just one, and then consider how each part influences the other.

VIRGINIA SATIR (1916-1988) was a pioneering psychotherapist, lecturer, and author; she was internationally renowned for her work, especially in the field of family therapy. Considered one of the most distinguished therapists in recent history and selected to be on the boards of numerous prestigious councils, Satir was also known for her Change Process Model, still embraced today. Time magazine once wrote of her, "She can fill any auditorium in the country." She cofounded the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, the first organization to establish a formal training program in family therapy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The basis of most modern day parenting books
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2016

    Virginia Satir was a master in her field. Once you have read this book you realise that it forms the basis for many (much longer) parenting books coming out nowadays. This book should be handed out to all new parents at hospital right after birth.

    5.0 out of 5 stars D'occasion très bien traité
    Reviewed in France on March 14, 2016

    La note cinq étoiles répond au service de livraison avant la date estimée, la présentation du livre-très bien traité-d'occasion à un prix plus qu'acceptable. Merci le vendeur et Amazon France. Je recommande cet ouvrage à ceux et celles qui souhaitent se replonger dans les "classiques de Palo Alto" et tout particulièrement dans les aspects fondateurs de la communication et de la thérapie des couples et de la famille. Connaître l'anglais est indispensable pour comprendre le travail de l'auteure, Virginia SATIR. Merci encore et toujours à Amazon qui rend possible l'achat de ces type d'ouvrages devenus une référence.

    Livre de référence pour toute personne qui veut comprendre le fonctionnement de la cellule familiale. Virginia Satir était probablement une des meilleures thérapeutes américaines. C'est elle qui a inventé la thérapie familiale dans les années 1960.
