In the most basic sense, Virginia Satir’s work focused on "Becoming More Fully Human." She started and developed professional level training groups with her methods in North and South America, Europe including Russia and even the Middle East and the Orient.
Her innovated work included clarification and new distinctions on the “presenting issue.” She shows that this is NOT the real issue but merely what is seen on the surface. The real problem is the way people cope with the issues created by the problem; “the reaction”. She offers great insight to this fundamental level of therapy that still attracts great appeal especially through NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming).
As her books became available; her reputation worldwide grew and she began to speak internationally. As a result, many groups spawned to carry on her work at the local level within professional circles. Beautiful People is one such group, as is the Avanta Network. She is recognized by several honorary doctorates.
In the 1970’s her successful “models of therapy” attracted the attention and study of Richard Bandler and John Grinder who used it as one of the three fundamental models of NLP. A student of Bandler and Grinder; Steve Andreas, wrote Virginia Satir: The Patterns of Her Magic (1991) which gives a summary of her work and how to apply in script form in “Forgiving Parents.”
If you have, interpersonal relationship challenges; have a look at her work and how it can enhance the “peace within, peace between and peace among” your family, friends and peers.
