A comprehensive collection of Virginia Satirs research and teachings around the nature of humanity, author Barbara Jo Brothers has written the first ever tribute to the Mother of Family Therapys life-work, capturing the essence of Satirs groundbreaking philosophies about the human race and the impact humans have on the Earth.In her career, the Mother of Family Therapy Virginia Satir strove to make life work better: for the individual, for families, for the entire world. With a training objective of becoming more fully human, Virginia believed that the principles for peace within families could be extrapolated to peace within the world family. Having formulated her groundbreaking philosophies from her clinical observations of hundreds of families in multiple countries, Virginias practices continue to impact the world at large, spreading peace and understanding.More than just a testament to Virginias legacy, Well-Being Writ Large is a window into her thinking-a biography of a deeper understanding of the nature of the human being and how that human being might live better in her or his world. Author, licensed clinical social worker, and Virginia scholar Barbara Jo Brothers has painstakingly researched and drawn from Virginias works-including books, articles, interviews, and transcribed lectures-personal notes made over the course of Satirs career, and direct conversations during Brotherss own extensive residential training to compile the most complete, most essential collection of Virginia Satirs work.
