Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy
was Developed by: Virginia Satir
Overview: “Satir’s Systemic Brief Therapy Model is unique in encompassing both the intrapsychic and interactive components of therapy. Much therapy of the past has been focused only on clients’ behaving, beliefs or feelings. This model is focused on bringing about change at the level of being, as well as changes in doing, feelings and perceiving. The process taps the universal yearnings of individuals within their personal family and social systems and helps them work towards a sense of responsible wholeness. This work requires that the therapist develop a high level therapeutic competence and congruence.”

“Virginia Satir (1916-1988) is internationally recognized for creativity in the practice of family therapy. Based on a conviction that people are capable of continued growth, change & new understanding, her goal was to improved relationships & communication within the family unit. Referred to as the “Columbus of Family Therapy” and “everybody’s family therapist”, Satir stayed at the forefront of human growth and family therapy until her death in 1988. Virginia Satir, founder of the Satir Model, believed that therapy is an intense experience with the inner self. The counselor/therapist helps and encourages the client not only to accept and deal with the pain and problems but also accept and live an inner joy and peace of mind”
