A Gem

This paperback edition is almost 30 years old, yet I have never read anything so clear and sure-footed about the subjective world of awareness and unawareness. Virginia Satir's extended analogy, which is most of the book, delights and astonishes me: we see our sub-personalities as players in a theatre first introduced and then playing a particular drama and resolution that the author thinks it might help us to see - such effectiveness; simplicity and kindness is surely hard-won. I cannot respect it enough.

Incredible Woman

Virginia Satir is well known to family therapists and in NLP communication classes. Her way is one of putting you at ease and giving you credit for all that you are. I came upon this book quite by accident and discovered simplicity and elegance within a message that could have been written just today. Virginia teaches working with the parts that make up each individual and she embraces that each person is unique. Virginia is gone now but the work that she did comes through on the pages of this one simple book, she was an incredible woman indeed.

Good Satir Basics

This easy to read book is a great introduction to the works of Virginia Satir. It is full of information that is useful to both Therapists and general readers. The illustrations by the author make the book fun to read and easy to understand. Readers who enjoy this book will probably want more depth that can be found in other books by Satir.
