Translated by Colleen Beaumont

This book presents the experiences of a physician-psychotherapist who goes beyond the specificity of a medical paradigm and even beyond the individual as she looks for possible solutions to illness and its manifestations. Using the method of family constellations, she focuses on the entire family system. Presented in two parts, the book first offers a basic explanation of the constellation approach and then presents practical applications of the method. Illness and symptoms are viewed in the context of larger systems, and constellations are used to identify disturbances and to restore a more health-supporting environment
