ABSTRACT
Many of the therapists, working in a variety of ways, wrote powerfully about changes in themselves as they worked with their own families. “The most significant event was roleplaying herself as a child with her younger sister and family of origin and then roleplaying herself with her son and the rest of the author nuclear family. “The most significant event was when the leader told the author to examine the pattern of male and female relationships in their family. The most significant event was the result of something a group member said. “The most significant event was sculpting the author family of origin. It was emotionally powerful, providing perceptions and linkages that the author had not known before and an opportunity to evaluate her role in terms of family patterns.”. “The author biggest accomplishment was “getting it all together’—her acceptance of her family which allowed for acceptance of herself.
