| Summary |
If you're working with a family recovering from abuse, assessing their progress and identifying next steps can be confounding. You might look at any number of signposts-but how do you know which to prioritize? In this video, renowned family therapist Virginia Satir conducts a tender session with a family in the aftermath of a brother's assault of his sister. Through her therapeutic warmth and innovative use of experiential interventions, Satir provides a model of how to determine a family's prognosis, as well as a compelling glimpse into her signature style. Linda and Jack are a married couple with four children, the two eldest from Linda's previous marriage. One year prior to their session with Satir, 17-year-old Sean assaulted his 15-year-old sister Michelle, driving the family into therapy. As Sean emerges from his initial period of treatment, the family meets with Satir, who immediately connects with them through naming their individual and collective strengths. You'll be awed by Satir's skill at building authentic rapport with the six members-even the youngest, nonverbal siblings-while illuminating their family dynamics through a series of exercises that emphasize direct communication and empathizing with the other. Her humor and care are readily apparent, as is the degree to which she physically immerses herself in the family unit. Throughout the session, Satir maintains a safe holding environment that supports honest cross-communication, paves the way for deeper connection between the parents, and establishes building blocks for future work. This is an essential resource for therapists looking to learn more about family systems, assessment, creative interventions, and Satir's unique, bold approach. Featuring commentary from Satir's early students and an introduction from Satir herself, this video is a must for your collection |
