World-renowned family therapist Virginia Satir (1916-1988) creatively integrated the body, mind and spirit in her therapy and teaching, moving beyond the prevailing theories of her time. The body is central to this collaborative text by contemporary practitioners and trainers who integrate Satir's life-affirming teachings in diverse ways.
Through personal stories and case studies, the authors share how the body is included in family therapy, trauma therapy, perinatal and infant therapy, dance and movement therapy, therapeutic applications of meditation, interactive sculpting and bodymind approaches to personal growth.
This whole person approach integrates the importance of the therapists' attention to the self of the client and therapist, congruence of actions and words, elements of pacing and observation of nonverbal cues in therapy, while engaging clients as full participants in the highly interactive therapeutic process.
Satir anticipated current energy and body-focused therapies. The evolution of her work is integrative and ongoing, as her teachings are being taught globally today.
Co-author Leona Flamand Gallant reminds us: "[Satir's] messages are like a living cell in each of us who connected with her. Her message keeps expanding and renewing itself. It doesn't stand still."
About the authors
The co-authors of Virginia Satir's Evolving Legacy are experienced practitioners, trainers, and/or personal growth coaches of Satir's Model, covering diverse areas of practice. Their decision to write collaboratively came from a desire to highlight both Satir's attention to the body, energy and spirit and the relevance of her teaching for these modern times. The co-authors are: Dr. Nitza Broide-Miller, Leona Flammand Gallant, Julie Gerhardt, Mary Leslie, Anastacia Lundholm, Jennifer Nagel and Dr. Carolyn Nesbitt. The three elders had close contact and training for many years with Virginia Satir before her death in 1988. Together the co-authors have over 200 years as students, trainers and practitioners of Satir's Model.

Brilliantly portrays Virgina Satir's understanding of the use of body as an integral part of personal healing. I believe that healing can take place when we connect with our mind, body and spirit. Every word has a spirit, connection is the key.
