You have eyes, ears, feelings, speech, thought, movement, actions through which you make contact with yourself and with others. Very often people ignore the essence of this process. In Making Contact Virginia Satir brings into focus how you can use all these elements, how things got this way and, above all, how change can begin. She uses techniques developed in her workshops to make clear what habits and experiences influence you in subtle ways. The object of her work is to bring about change in perceptions and action. In clear and concise terms, Making Contact will make it possible for you to use these principles and put them to work for change in your own life.About the AuthorVirginia Satir (1916-1988) was a pioneering psychotherapist, lecturer, and author; she was internationally renowned for her work, especially in the field of family therapy.
