Virginia Satir
Virginia Satir (1916-1988) was an American psychotherapist and author widely regarded as the "Mother of Family Therapy." She specialized in family therapy and Systemic Constellations, making groundbreaking contributions to the field.
Her most influential works include Conjoint Family Therapy (1964), Peoplemaking (1972), and The New Peoplemaking (1988).
Satir created the Virginia Satir Change Process Model through clinical studies, a psychological framework that examines how disruptive events impact family systems.
This model gained broader recognition when change management experts in the 1990s and 2000s adopted it to understand organizational transformation.
