A comprehensive collection of Virginia Satir's research and teachings around the nature of humanity, author Barbara Jo Brothers has written the first ever tribute to the Mother of Family Therapy's life-work, capturing the essence of Satir's groundbreaking philosophies about the human race and the impact human's have on the Earth. In her career, the "Mother of Family Therapy" Virginia Satir strove to make life work better: for the individual, for families, for the entire world. With a training objective of "becoming more fully human," Virginia believed that the principles for peace within families could be extrapolated to peace within the "world family." Having formulated her groundbreaking philosophies from her clinical observations of hundreds of families in multiple countries, Virginia's practices continue to impact the world at large, spreading peace and understanding. More than just a testament to Virginia's legacy, Well-Being Writ Large is a window into her thinking-a "biography" of a deeper understanding of the nature of the human being and how that human being might live better in her or his world. Author, licensed clinical social worker, and Virginia scholar Barbara Jo Brothers has painstakingly researched and drawn from Virginia's works-including books, articles, interviews, and transcribed lectures-personal notes made over the course of Satir's career, and direct conversations during Brothers's own extensive residential training to compile the most complete, most essential collection of Virginia Satir's work.

The Great Wing transforms the timeless miracle of the migration of a flock of geese into a parable for the modern age. It recounts a young goose’s own reluctant but steady transformation from gangly fledgling to Grand Goose and his triumph over the turmoils of his soul and the buffeting of a mighty Atlantic storm.In The Great Wing, our potential as individuals is affirmed, as is the power of group prayer, or the “Flock Mind.” As we make the journey with this goose and his flock, we rediscover that we tie our own potential into the power of the common good by way of attributes such as honesty, hope, courage, perseverance, spirituality, and service. The young goose’s trial and tribulations, as well as his triumph, are our own.

I had ample opportunity to ask Dad these questions when he was alive, But it seemed that a million reasons not to do so could always be found. It was a waste of everything Dad had ever seen, done,  and thought about not to hear his answers, and I regret not finding out more about him when I had the chance. Questions for My Father was borne of that regret and has one underlying objective: to develop a blueprint for discovery so that children of any age can start to build a clearer, deeper picture of the man behind the word . -- Vincent Staniforth
