Third edition of this classic on family therapy. The introduction calls it a conceptual frame around which to organize your data and your impressions . . . a suggested path.

Annotated transcript of Satir conducting family therapy -- showing what she's thinking and how she selects a particular phrase or intervention -- and then an account of her theoretical foundations and methods.

Revised and expanded seminal work on families, with over a million copies sold in 12 languages. The New Peoplemaking expresses Satir's most evolved thoughts on self-worth, communication, family systems, and the ways in which people relate to one another. Drawing on Satir's lifetime of experience with thousands of families around the world, it is written in the engaging style for which she is famous.

The New Peoplemaking is completely revised and enlarged by six new chapters that elaborate on the whole of life.

This book represents the evolution of Satir's ideas over the last twenty years. In clear, plain terms, it details her theoretical position, her strategy in therapy, and how she tailored her interventions to address people's particular issues.

With an emphasis on learning to change through other modalities than speech, this book discusses the importance of non-verbal body experience and awareness of kinetic cues in interpersonal relationships. A number of meditative exercises are included.
