VIRGINIA SATIR (1916-1988) was a pioneering psychotherapist, lecturer, and author; she was internationally renowned for her work, especially in the field of family therapy. Considered one of the most distinguished therapists in recent history and selected to be on the boards of numerous prestigious councils, Satir was also known for her Change Process Model, still embraced today. Time magazine once wrote of her, "She can fill any auditorium in the country." She cofounded the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto, California, the first organization to establish a formal training program in family therapy.

This author came very highly recommended to me by a friend who works as a psychotherapist; but none of Satir's books, including this one, were worth my time or money. The book is lovely, poetic, beautifully-illustrated, warm and fuzzy. But it is not my cup of tea. Satir seems, to me, more like astrology and homeopathy than psychiatry (Entertainent and Art but not Science). I prefer scientific, non-fictional, evidence-based, cutting-edge, facts. I gifted my copy of the book to a very young "tween-aged" niece for whom it seemed, to me, more appropriate. She felt it was more on the level of a kindergarden book. So we ultimately donated it to a local Sunday-school library.

This book is written in poetic form. The main theme is that you can accept yourself or change yourself. Very upbeat .

I first bought this little book in the 80's for my son going off to college. He told me many times how he would read it over and over. I recently bought it for my foster teen and she liked it also. It is wonderful simply written words of wisdom.

Graham Mummery

A Miniature Song of Myself

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

Virginia Satir built herself a great reputation in psychology, especially working in family therapy. Her books such as "Peoplemaking" are still highly regarded in the area, and have many insights.

The book here consists of a poem she wrote for an angry teenaged girl asking what is the meaning of it all. This was her response. It is a poems of about twenty six lines basically owning every part of herself (mind, body, feelings etc) and stating these are what she takes responsibility for. The lines of the poem are broken up with some delightful drawings next to them.

Satir was a pioneer in using poems in therapy, as the focus of words can underline a point very effectively. The style of this poem is in someways reminiscent of Whitman's great poem "Song of Myself." Perhaps not as great literature as that work, but certainly of use to therapists for use as an affirmation of self at an appropriate time.

La note cinq étoiles répond au service de livraison avant la date estimée, la présentation du livre-très bien traité-d'occasion à un prix plus qu'acceptable. Merci le vendeur et Amazon France. Je recommande cet ouvrage fondateur des pratiques de Virginia SATIR, il est accessible au grand public cherchant à connaître les "classiques de Palo Alto" et notamment les apports sur la vision du monde de celui qui débute l'échange, et entame des relations avec autrui. Connaître l'anglais est indispensable pour comprendre ce travail. Merci à Amazon qui rend possible l'achat de ces type d'ouvrages devenus une référence dont la traduction en Français se fait toujours attendre.
