Virginia Satir believed that every family displayed a type of balance system in their lives (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013). We here at Hope and Joy will help our therapist to be able to bring balance into the family lives that they will work in. The family unit is very important and must be taken serious. The students will learn that crisis is a journey of transformation. We want our students to be great therapist and to be able to make life better for someone else.
Hope and Joy University Program Philosophy Hope and Joy University has based our school’s theoretical orientation around the basis of the human validation process, Satir’s eight aspects of self. We model our program and train our students to accept that at the “core of every person-consist of eight separate but interacting elements” (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013). The elements are the physical, intellectual, emotional, sensual, interactional, contextual, nutritional, and spiritual. Our university’s goal is to nourish all these elements as a part of strengthening our students as the best family therapist. Our model will educate you on the role of the family and various communication styles that are reflective of the human validation process. Our model is that the communication style of the family is reflective of the level of worth if the members in the family will learn to be honest and genuine with one another. Understanding that as a
student is the first step. The second
Chapter One: In this chapter talks about the history of many decades where the different therapist is treating family members separated from the family and eventually when one member of the family sought help and got better another one seems to be affected. These different observations lead to begging the family therapy movement (Nichols, M. 2017).

In life, we all experience many difficulties but along with those difficulties there are many opportunities to learn how to grow. One major accomplishment in my life did not come in the form of an formal award, but as an educational stepping stone.

While reading this short story, I kind of sense that the narrator was a little judgmental, but then as I continued reading, I realized that everyone in this short story is. The narrator is clearly omniscient (limited) because of the way they talk about characters, but they seem to be limited to Mrs. Hopewell and Joy (Hulga). Although the narrator makes judgmental comments about what is going on, I would argue that the characters and the narrator aren’t so distant because the narrator often re-enforces some of the claims that the characters make, and their values change to be in sync with each other.
Satir’s philosophical and humanistic approach regarding family therapy is the antithesis to the divide and rule model utilized throughout history in many political, sociological, and economical endeavors. Whereas the divide and rule model is typically employed to increase or maintain power for ulterior or selfish reasons, Satir’s approach to family therapy seeks the opposite by promoting liberation and enfranchisement through unification and convergence between and among family members (Littlewood, 2009). For this to occur the therapist must be actively involved with his or her clients and to do so in a nonjudgmental, empathic, genuine manner (Rasheed, Rasheed, & Marley, 2011). To achieve this goal the therapist must first succeed at establishing a strong alliance with each member of the family in order to be accepted as “one of their own”.
When Walt Whitman published the first edition of Leaves of Grass it was received with a wide variety of reactions. From critics to fellow poets the reactions to his first volume were often admiring, but also dubious. This pattern continued with each of the six editions of Leaves.
John Banmen said “Virginia Satir, the pioneer of conjoint family therapy, has, over the years taught, and developed a family therapy system based on the belief that people have the resources to move their life patterns from a basic survival level to a higher level of becoming more fully human.” A brief overview of Satir’s work will define communication and self-esteem as Satir would use them, create an understanding of family dynamics, which allows the reader to fully conceptualize how Satir’s put her theory into practice.

Therefore, this therapy can be used to help families with schizophrenic members, violent temperaments, uncontrolled substance or alcohol abuse, chronic problems (that affect all members), and those who want to improve relationship skills. Its goal is to build a supportive collaboration between counselor and the family and teaches skill-building techniques to help families gain control over their circumstances. Strength and resiliency are taught to families dealing with chronic problems (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p.415). Psychoeducation does follow some of the techniques used by traditional treatments, such as cooperating with the family, acquiring the trust of its members, remaining unbiased, and figuring out the best methods to have positive conclusions. In summary, the program helps families learn problem-solving approaches that will help them have prosperous marital or parent-child relationships (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p.416).
