In Her Own Words...

by Virginia Satir
Type: Softcover

Satir’s broadly encompassing perspective is communicated in this new book, In Her Own Words, through a series of previously published —and never-before-published — short works she produced between 1963 and 1983. Presented in chronological order, these articles give readers a strong sense of her professional evolution, as well as her lively personal voice. The short introductions by contemporary contributors provide frame and context for what follows.
