Virginia Satir

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Satir

Virginia Satir Change Process Model, a psychological model developed through clinical studies. Change management and organizational gurus of the 1990s and 2000s embrace this model to define how change impacts organizations.[4][5][6][7]

 Her most well-known books are Conjoint Family Therapy, 1964, Peoplemaking, 1972, and The New Peoplemaking, 1988.

When Satir was three years old, she taught herself to read and by age nine, she had read all of the books in the library of her small one-room school. From early years, Satir demonstrated an interest in family dynamics. When she was five, she decided that she would grow up to be "a children's detective on parents, inclinations that would later become true through her therapeutic practices."[8] She later explained that "I didn't quite know what I would look for, but I realized a lot went on in families that didn't meet the eye."[8]

During her time as a schoolteacher, she recognized that involved and supportive parents not only help students in the classroom but could also heal family dynamics. Satir began meeting and cooperating with the parents of her students and saw the family system as a reflection of the world at large, stating "if we can heal the family, we can heal the world" [8]

One of Satir's most novel ideas at the time, was that the "presenting issue" or "surface problem" itself was seldom the real problem; rather, how people coped with the issue created the problem."[9] 

 As she said (Align, 1988, p. 20): "The family is a microcosm. By knowing how to heal the family, I know how to heal the world."

Steve Andreas, one of Bandler and Grinder's students, wrote Virginia Satir: The Patterns of Her Magic (1991) in which he summarized the major patterns of Satir's work, and then showed how Satir applied them in a richly annotated verbatim transcript of a videotaped session titled "Forgiving Parents".

Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST), also known as the Satir method

THEORY OF THE SATIR METHOD
The foundational concept of STST is the belief all people are connected through a universal Life Energy, which can be accessed to achieve transformational change, develop and strengthen relationships, change behaviors, and develop positive life energy.

A few other important ideas guiding STST include but are not limited to the following:  

 • All people are innately good and have positive Life Energy at their core.
 • Human beings experience themselves through the same universal processes: feeling, thinking, doing, expecting, yearning, and connecting spiritually. 
 • All people possess the necessary coping resources to face life’s challenges, though some may have yet to access these resources or may view any or all of them negatively.
 • Problems stem from the ways people cope with them, not the problems themselves. In other words, the “problem” is not actually the problem. 
 • Treatment should focus on health, possibilities, and hope, not on pathology and problems, and treatment should utilize Life Energy to facilitate the natural healing process.
 • Everyone has the ability to change. Even if external change is restricted or limited due to factors beyond an individual’s control, internal change can still be achieved.  
 • While we cannot change what happened in the past, we can change how those past events affect us in the present. By resolving past trauma we can live with more positive energy.
 • People always do the best they can at any given time. Even destructive or otherwise negative behaviors serve to indicate the best coping possible at that time. 
 • We are in charge of our emotions. We can choose to hold onto positive feelings which provide validation and let go of negative feelings. 

According to the Satir model, the pain people experience is the result of the way they manage their perceptions, expectations, emotions, and behaviors. By focusing on three primary areas—the Intrapsychic System, the Interactive System, and the Family of Origin System—people can examine their experiences and relationships, develop goals, and work toward change.
