The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond

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

This book is a great in-depth review of the work of Virginia Satir. Its simple, concise writing and decent illustrations make it a wonderful way access the beliefs and therapy techniques of Satir. If only all psychology books could be written this way! I learned a lot and enjoyed the process.
