Talk:Virginia Satir

Satir and reconstructions
Systemic Constellations, which has been linked to Virigina Satir's work, is not the same thing as Family Reconstructions. Family Reconstructions are carefully planned and constructed events for a particular person, called the "star," that happen on a prearranged day and look over the person's life in a kind of timeline. The faciliator may have fathered props, interviewed people and otherwise produces the event. It is much more based on role play, like psychodrama, than the phenomenological process.

Distilation or dissemination
I think the text above sound blur:

"[...]However Virginia herself was known to be rather uneasy about the distillation of her work[...]"

Should not it be "dissemination of her work" instead of "distillation of her work"? See Merriam-Webster's entry:  [|dissemination]

 * I'm not quite sure what that sentence is even supposed to mean. What was best summed up by Jerry Weinberg: her work, or her uneasiness about its distillation? Even with the change I'm making, I still don't get the point. I'm a wiki newbie - I trust that if I'm making wikiquette errors in my editing that someone will set me straight.

I believe it should be distillation. Jerry Weinberg's quote which supports this is that he wanted the chicken (Virginia Satir) and not the chicken soup (NLP).

Reference to Names
Is it standard to refer to people by their first or last name alone after giving their full name at first? She is referred to as Virginia in the second para, then Virginia Satir in the third - should it just be Satir? Guidelines say to be bold - so I'm changing it. ;o)

I don't know what the Wikipedia standard is, but I read somewhere that Virginia Satir disliked being referred to as Satir.

 * Our Manual of Style is quite clear that we refer to the subject by their family name, not their given name or nickname, unless the use of the give name is necessary for disambiguation from other persons of the same last name in that paragraph. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  18:33, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
