Introduction to Transformational
Systemic Therapy Using the Satir Model |
The Satir Model is founded by Virginia Satir (1916 – 1988), and is
based on a conviction that people are capable of continued growth,
change and new understanding. Its goal is to help people improve
relationships and communication within the context they are in.
The Satir Model encompasses both the intrapsychic and interactive
components of therapy. It is focused on bringing about change at
the level of being, as well as changes in doing, feeling and
perceiving. The process taps the universal yearnings of
individuals within their personal family and social systems and
helps them work towards a sense of responsible wholeness. This
process requires a high level of therapist congruence. |
