	Book Review
		If Virginia was one of the people you ever envied in your life, or would ever want to emulate, rather than emulating her tonality, style, and jargon, or the kinds of things she said, I think it is time we got serious enough to emulate her skill.
		Virginia, for instance, would talk about "gaining trust," "making contact," "building positive self-worth," and the importance of the "human connection" and an "I-thou relationship." Although she demonstrated these skills exquisitely, she was much less able to specify exactly how she accomplished them, either verbally or nonverbally.
		Virginia was known primarily as a family therapist, and in family sessions she alternately focused her attention on different family members.

		Virginia realizes the family has gone through many changes in the last year but senses that the system is in the beginning phase of a very significant transition.
		Virginia takes a very dear, direct look at the problems while she builds a foundation of trust with the parents and the two young boys.
		From this Corrales suggests Satir's personal genius was a particular combination of an intuitive, hands-on generalist, and she was able to bring this enrgy to an adaptive approach to therapy.

		Keeping within her positive mind frame, Satir calls them "yearnings." They are similar to the basic drives suggested by Glasser, Rogers, and Maslow: to love and be loved, to be accepted, to be acknowledged, to be validated, to belong, to be worthwhile, and to have "meaning".
		According to Satir, if these yearnings are fulfilled, then the human being can achieve the goals of becoming a positive choice maker, being more responsible for one's internal and external world, being more "whole" or congruent, and experiencing higher self-esteem.
		Satir identifies four ways in which we cope with stress which are dysfunctional.

	Amazon.com: New Peoplemaking: Books: Virginia Satir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		If as a student all you ever were some of the mainstream texts/resources, which are so reductionistic, you would come away with a view of the family that would have you questioning whether or not the very institution itself is viable for sustaining the mental health of all of its members.
		Admittedly what Satir has to say is important and perhaps even very beneficial to some people, but I highly doubt anyone but the seriously interested in psychological self-help will wade their way through every page of this book - even though the type is big and there are gobs of pictures.
		Satir has simplified her message to where the educated layperson can read it and omitted all of the psycho-babble.

	Biography
		She wrote with great appreciation for Virginia’s work, which had showed her, as she put it, how to begin dusting off the neglected pieces of the unsolved puzzle of her life and endeavor to put them together.
		The writing of this biography, then, has emerged from the correspondence and requests that have crossed my desk, pushing and pressing me to realize that, as hungry as people are for the teachings of Virginia Satir, they are also eager to establish some kind of personal connection with her.
		I met Virginia in 1977, when she founded Avanta, a non-profit organization dedicated to training and supporting people "to be more fully human." For several years I worked with her as a trainer at Process Community, a month-long seminar for personal and professional growth.
