NOTE: This is an excerpt from a 30-minute DVD. http://www.thinkingallowed.com/2vsatir.html The problems of society result less from an intrinsic "evil" in human nature than from our failure to stop repeating behavior patterns from the past. Change, says Virginia Satir, begins with learning to accept and understand the many parts of oneself. The late Ms. Satir was one of the most influential psychologists of her day. She was the author of Conjoint Family Therapy, Peoplemaking, Self-Esteem and numerous other books.
