Family Constellations

Damian Janus

doi:10.5771/9781793627438

Summary

Based on the knowledge derived from family constellations, a therapeutic method developed by Bert Hellinger, Janus investigates other psychotherapeutic approaches and introduces a new perspective on human behavior. Janus addresses debated issues like nature versus nurture, the role of unconscious factors in shaping behavior, and the structure of the conscience, arguing that family constellations offer new understandings for the fields of psychotherapy, psychology, anthropology, and religious studies.
