This book provides a detailed analysis of the intervention style of family therapy pioneer Virginia Satir. Her verbal patterns are revealed by way of the transcript of 73-minute session she conducted in 1986.
The first section of the book describes 16 key themes in Satir's work—techniques and ideas she used to move people from their current situations to their desired outcomes. The next section is a richly annotated transcript of Satir's 1986 session with Linda, a woman who started out with hostility toward and resentment of her mother but who ended up with a deep appreciation and understanding of her mother's behavior and attitudes.
A follow-up interview with Linda, conducted three years later, shows the permanent impact of the changes Satir has achieved with her.
Steve Andreas' insightful commentary reveals the subtlety, precision, and wisdom of Satir's methods. Therapists and other professionals who seek positive change in their clients can learn a lot from his book.
