The Satir Model in Action

This book will provide you with plenty of examples on how others have applied Satir’s teachings to help people with difficult and various challenges in their lives. The book consists of what I consider the most relevant articles from the former Satir Journal: Transformational Systemic Therapy published by the Satir Institute of the Pacific, B.C. Canada during 2006 and 2012.

Guided Meditations and Inspirations by Virginia Satir

These Meditations were originally presented by Virginia Satir at various training and other events and have remained hidden from view since her death in 1988 over thirty years ago. Dr. John Banmen, one of her close friends and colleagues, has edited them.
Virginia Satir used guided meditations as a way of helping a group of people become centered and in touch with the physical, cognitive and intuitive parts of themselves. Her purpose was to help people grow and fully experience their life energy, access their internal resources and connection with the universe.
The Satir Institute of the Pacific is honored and proud to offer this previously unpublished selection of Virginia Satir’s Meditations.
Their relevance and insights are of lasting significance. Careful study of these guided meditations and inspirations will lead the reader to a greater understanding of Virginia Satir’s vision and especially their own capacity of what it means to be more fully human.

Meditations of Virginia Satir

This compilations of meditations takes readers to the farthest reaches of Virginia’s ideas on the complex interplay of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. The book begins with a brief essay by Virginia on how she developed and used meditations to deepen the impact of her more clinical techniques. Starting from the premise that the body is a magnificent temple that houses our human essence, or spirit, she then explored the profound interrelations between body and spirit in a series of moving essays that illuminate and guide. Accompanying the book is a CD recording of Virginia Satir doing a few of her meditations in front of a live audience.

Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy

Virginia Satir’s approach to therapy helped people change at a deep level, and this book sheds light on how that works. Cross-Cultural counseling, treating suicidal youth, and working with survivors of sexual abuse are featured here, as does the therapist’s use of him- or herself as part of this systemic approach to counseling. Critiquing, developing, and adapting the Satir model characterize chapters in this book.
