"In this training video, master therapist Jean McLendon demonstrates Satir Family Therapy with a single mother and her 11-year-old son. Unlike many children, who are brought to therapy against their will by their parents, John stepped up to the plate to ask his mother if he could talk to a counselor about his anger. McLendon gently helps John accept the sadness underneath his anger, as she uncovers a series of significant losses John has had to face so early in his young life. With deep care and reverence, McLendon helps both John and his mother to embrace the vulnerable parts of themselves with tenderness and love. You will learn key aspects of the Satir approach such as creating safety, making contact, and validating feelings and desires, and how the family mapping technique can be used as a visual tool to help deepen the work. A post-session discussion sheds further light on the Satir approach to family therapy. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
