Adapting Virginia Satir Techniques to Hispanic Families

Diana Bermudez

The George Washington University, dbermude{at}gwu.edu

This article analyzes the application of Virginia Satir's model of family therapy to Hispanic clients based on consultation with expert clinicians and a literature review. To better serve the therapeutic needs of Hispanic families, the article proposes an adaptation of Satir's concepts and techniques (family map, family life chronology, family rules, ropes, communication stances, and sculpting) that incorporate Hispanic cultural and contextual factors.

Key Words: Satir • Hispanic • family therapy
