Customer Reviews

Good fundamentals no real detail...
This book offers a good `rule of thumb' concept for anyone familiar with Hellinger's Family Constellation work. There are many applicatory suggestions and context threw-out the book which are easily applied to the practical use of Constellation work.
I recommend this book to those who have a basic understanding of Hellinger's work but are looking for basic guidelines within this work as a Practitioner/Therapist. It would also be a good reference for those Practitioners who may want to simplify or `get back to the basics' of Hellinger's work. The author truly seems to respect and understand Hellinger's intentions for the work and that is shown threw-out the book.
Ultimately I feel the practical use of this book lies mostly in the understanding that it is a basic `guideline' for the `leaders/therapists'.
If you are looking for a book that offers detailed procedure or application of Family Constellation this is not going to satisfy that need.
This book is ideally written for the `therapist' or practitioner and thus not one I would recommend for individuals who have attended a constellation and are looking for more insight.
It is very easy to understand and a quick read with basic fundamentals of the practice. For a more in-depth look at constellation however I would look elsewhere.

An excellent tool to work Family Constellations
It is a well written book that explains in a clear way how family constellations work. It is of great help for us therapist working with family constellations and for those who are interested in learning how they work.
