Adequate introduction to family constellations but can be done better
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This introduction to Bert Hellinger's work consists of interviews of him with a political scientists. The way Hellinger's family constellations unfold, they usually support more conservative positions regarding sexuality and labor division in family, so there is some interesting tension between the liberal interviewer and the wise old man Hellinger. It also becomes clear that Hellinger treats spirituality as something quite earthly and this-worldly, amounting mostly to facing life's challenges. The biggest minus of the book is absence of diagrams of the constellations that are described. For this reason, I suggest getting 'Love's Hidden Symmetry' or 'Love's Own Truths' instead. But this is definitely an okay book too.

A wonderful book for those who have seen Bert Hellinger in action, and even for those who haven't . For those of us who have witnessed the integrity he brings into the art of helping people it is a book filled with the knowledge and insight he has gained experientially while working with family systems and setting up constellations. For those new to his breathtaking work it is full of things to spark one's interest and inform.Do not dismiss this work. It is quite simply the beginning of something unbelievably profound and soul-enriching. It is in fact about working with the movements of the soul.
gets more interesting the more times you read it

This very straightforward book tackles many controversial subjects in psychotherapy with empirical wisdom: what helps people and what doesn't. Bert Hellinger does not seem to be concerned with anything else, and his practice reflects that simplicity and directness. The questions asked by the interviewer are often the very ones the reader wants to ask. This family constellation work is worth much more investigation.
