Synopsis

World-renowned family therapist Virginia Satir (1916-1988) creatively integrated the body, mind and spirit in her therapy and teaching, moving beyond the prevailing theories of her time. The body is central to this collaborative text by contemporary practitioners and trainers who integrate Satir’s life-affirming teachings in diverse ways.

Through personal stories and case studies, the authors share how the body is included in family therapy, trauma therapy, perinatal and infant therapy, dance and movement therapy, therapeutic applications of meditation, interactive sculpting and bodymind approaches to personal growth.

This whole person approach integrates the importance of the therapists' attention to the self of the client and therapist, congruence of actions and words, elements of pacing and observation of nonverbal cues in therapy, while engaging clients as full participants in the highly interactive therapeutic process.

Satir anticipated current energy and body-focused therapies. The evolution of her work is integrative and ongoing, as her teachings are being taught globally today.

Co-author Leona Flamand Gallant reminds us: "[Satir's] messages are like a living cell in each of us who connected with her. Her message keeps expanding and renewing itself. It doesn't stand still."

Brilliantly portrays Virgina Satir’s understanding of the use of body as an integral part of personal healing. I believe that healing can take place when we connect with our mind, body and spirit. Every word has a spirit, connection is the key.
