Kontakte liebevoll gestaltenJe besser wir in Kontakt mit uns selbst sind und je klarer wir unsere Botschaften senden, umso offener sind wir für unser Gegenüber und können sicher sein, richtig verstanden zu werden.Die renommierte Familientherapeutin Virginia Satir zeigt in ihrem erfolgreichen Buch, wie wir Kontakt zu anderen finden und diese Begegnungen liebevoll und befriedigend gestalten.

Each one of us has a medley of "faces" that composes our individual intelligence, anger, love, jealousy, helplessness, courage, and many more. We're often quick to judge these characteristics as either positive or negative, without recognizing that we need each of them in order to become fuller, more balanced human beings. Originally written in 1978 by renowned psychotherapist Virginia Satir, the timeless classic Your Many Faces has been updated and reissued—and is as relevant today as ever. In a refreshingly candid style, Satir takes us on a lively and insightful journey of self-discovery and transformation. We learn how to acknowledge, understand, and manage our many faces—and in doing so, open up a world of possibilities for ourselves. This new edition also features a compelling foreword by Mary Ann Norfleet, PhD, which explores Satir's pioneering approaches to psychology and her enduring legacy in the field of family therapy.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Bu kitabin ortaya cikis sebebi 1955-1958 yillari arasinda Sikago Eyalet Psikiyatrik Enstitusunde verdigim Aile Dinamikleri dersi icin egitim materyali talebiydi. O zamandan beri tip, psikiyatri, psikoloji, sosyal hizmet, hemsirelik, egitim, antropoloji ve sosyoloji alanlarindan pek cok meslektasim aile terapisi alanindaki egitim programlarima ilgi duyduklarini belirttiler ve beni baslangic egitimini genel hatlariyla ozetleyen kilavuzu genisletip kitaplastirmaya tesvik ettiler. Sonucta oldukca zor bir konu olan temel aile terapisi konusunda ulastigim tum sonuclari temsil eden bu kitap ortaya cikti. Bu kitap oncelikli olarak ogrencileri etkili aile terapisi uygulamaya hazirlamak ve deneyimli profesyonellerin kolay unutulan kisimlari hafizalarinda tazelemeleri icindir. Bu nedenle, kitaba kaynaklik eden egitim kilavuzunun gayri resmi, genel cerceve cizme formatini muhafaza ettim. Gelinen noktada, aile terapisi konusunda daha da fazla yol kat edildi. Aile sistemlerinin nasil calistigina dair bilgimiz acisindan epey ilerledik ve ben bu kitabin ayrica hem klinik uygulama, hem de arastirmada inovasyonlara katalizor olmasini umuyorum.

Η επαφή με τον συνάνθρωπό σου δεν είναι ένα παιχνίδι όπου κερδίζεις μια φορά και ζεις ευτυχισμένος στην υπόλοιπη ζωή σου. Είναι ένα μέσο ειλικρινούς δοσοληψίας, ένα μέσο να μοιράζεσαι ανθρώπινα τα ανθρώπινα προβλήματα και τις ανησυχίες σου. Είναι ένας τρόπος διατήρησης της ακεραιότητάς σου και γαλούχησης της αναπτυσσόμενης αυτοεκτίμησής σου και, μακροπρόθεσμα, ενδυνάμωσης των σχέσεών σου με τον εαυτό σου και τους άλλους. Η ανάπτυξη αυτού του είδους της σοφίας πετυχαίνεται με την επί ζωής αναζήτηση. (. . .)
