FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS WORKSHOPS

WHAT IS FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS?

In practice, the family constellation method is related to psychodrama, introduced by Jacob Moreno, and family reconstruction, used by Virginia Satir. In psychodrama, as developed by Moreno, emotional information is presented and acted out on a stage. Thoughts, feelings and perceptions are externalised and can be altered in the course of a session. It is assumed that these alterations have a continuing effect as an internal image which replaces the image of the problem situation. This ‘internal image replacement’ also happens in family constellations, where a deep understanding of belonging to the family system and in a larger context, the world, is created. www.familyconstellationsafrica.co.za
