Synopsis

Family Reconstruction is an active and dramatic therapy tool created by Virginia Satir to help people reclaim freedom of choice and self worth. It reframes their current thinking about the past (and their place in their family), promotes a bigger picture of reality, and reawakens their emotions and passions.In their well-known work with alcoholism and other addictions, Wegscheider-Cruse and her colleagues have adapted and expanded the technique into what they call the Living Theater Model. It helps people:
-- Break the power of compulsive behaviors
-- Revive their self-esteem and self-worth
-- Develop safe and useful relationship skillsChapters include detailed descriptions of various exercises and a comprehensive discussion of this powerful process.
