ABSTRACT
The author claims that a process developed by Virginia Satir and called “Family Reconstruction” by her, is the epitome of her contribution to the field of therapy. This article describes the process, its goals and theory, the conditions necessary for an effective therapeutic breakthrough. How this therapeutic process can be powerfully effective in healing couple’s relationships is shown. In a final note, Nerin suggests that Satir’s model not be dubbed “communication theory,” but called “eco-psychological.”
