5.0 out of 5 stars gets more interesting the more times you read it, December 19, 2000

By A Customer

This very straightforward book tackles many controversial subjects in psychotherapy with empirical wisdom: what helps people and what doesn't. Bert Hellinger does not seem to be concerned with anything else, and his practice reflects that simplicity and directness. The questions asked by the interviewer are often the very ones the reader wants to ask. This family constellation work is worth much more investigation.

5.0 out of 5 stars revolutionary and beyond therapy, November 11, 2003

By	D. Gold - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful book for those who have seen Bert Hellinger in action, and even for those who haven't . For those of us who have witnessed the integrity he brings into the art of helping people it is a book filled with the knowledge and insight he has gained experientially while working with family systems and setting up constellations. For those new to his breathtaking work it is full of things to spark one's interest and inform.
Do not dismiss this work. It is quite simply the beginning of something unbelievably profound and soul-enriching. It is in fact about working with the movements of the soul.

3.0 out of 5 stars How to really make progresses and help ourself, September 22, 2004

By	Elena (UK) - See all my reviews

Read the book impartially and look for the thing in your life that you do not know where they come from- why there's always been difficulties in relationships, secrets and neglected families members- then you will undestand what is Hellinger doing, which is much more "positive" than labelling people' problems. Read it over and read it again after some time, this book deserves unprejudiced attention.
