Abstract

Jane Gerber, M.S.W., a long time trusted friend, colleague and student of Virginia Satir, is featured in this lively interview which was conducted in late 2006. Gerber presents an in-depth view of Satir from her early days in Chicago when Satir first began her work with families and was rapidly establishing her reputation as a trainer for her newly developed systemic approach to therapeutic work. Her new and powerful methods as well as her style of teaching drew the interest of leaders in the therapeutic community. Gerber also presents an intimate and sensitive portrait of Satir’s personal life as well as her work.

I wish to give Moira Haagen special thanks for graciously donating her valuable time to make a written transcript from the DVD of this interview with Jane Gerber. Without her generous help, this article would not have been possible.
