What is there now Monica has been changed. below is what was there a week ago
(and for a long time). We will see if the current version sticks (is not
changed back). Lets hope.

Family Constellations is an alternative therapeutic method which draws on
elements of family systems therapy, existential phenomenology and Zulu
attitudes to family.[1] In a single session, a Family Constellation supposedly
attempts to reveal a previously unrecognized systemic dynamic that spans
multiple generations in a given family and to resolve the deleterious effects
of that dynamic by encouraging the subject to accept the factual reality of the
past.
Family Constellations diverges significantly from conventional forms of
cognitive, behaviour and psychodynamic psychotherapy. The method has been
described by physicists as quantum quackery, and its founder Bert Hellinger
incorporates the pseudoscientific idea of morphic resonance into his
explanation of it. Positive outcomes from the therapy have been attributed to
conventional explanations such as suggestion and empathy.[2]
Practitioners claim that present-day problems and difficulties may be
influenced by traumas suffered in previous generations of the family, even if
those affected now are unaware of the original event in the past. A theoretical
foundation for this concept is called The Ancestor Syndrome in psychology.[3]
Hellinger referred to the relation between present and past problems that are
not caused by direct personal experience as Systemic entanglements, said to
occur when unresolved trauma has afflicted a family through an event such as
murder, suicide, death of a mother in childbirth, early death of a parent or
sibling, war, natural disaster, emigration, or abuse.[4] The psychiatrist Iván
Böszörményi-Nagy referred to this phenomenon as Invisible Loyalties.

The current Wikipedia text looks reasonable and well balanced to me. I see
no signs of hostility there at all. Are we coming to conclusions without
checking the facts?Monika

Subject: Re: [ConstellationTalk] Changing the description of our work on
Wikipedia. Here's what I changed it to:
I think all this is challenging us to stand up and be counted. What we are
offering is 'outside' the norm and we compromise the work if we try and 'fit'
with what we think society wants of us. I have become braver and more
uncompromising in my approach over the years. I am not willing to sacrifice my
own integrity for the sake of 'fitting in', finding acceptability within
mainstream. We are part of the paradigm shift that is happening - the shift
that says we are not isolate beings, this is not a dualistic world, we are all
inextricably linked to each other and to the planet. If people read Wikipaedia
and go no further, so be it. We can do what we can but there will always be
those who oppose the work. Yes, what we offer is alternative. So what? This is
a pretty good offering from Jack. If the moderators or whoever they are then
decide they want to reverse the language to negative again what can we do? Keep
wasting our energy fighting them or just get on and do the work with those that
want it?A well known healer in this country put himself up before the British
Medical Authority to be tested for his ability to heal. He showed over and over
again his ability to destroy cancer cells through a test tube but those
operating the tests kept moving the goalposts. He woke up one day and decided
that he was wasting a lot of time and energy trying to get mainstream
acceptance for what he was offering and that it was best just to get on and do
what he does best, offer healing to anyone who wants it.Barbara

Thanks, Jack, for taking time to change the negatively biased entry to
Family Constellations in Wikipedia. Your description seems good to me. My only
remarks concern the use of the term "alternative", which may encompass several
current methods which are not as proven as Family Constellations, and the
reference to the Zulus, which may elicit skeptical feelings and prejudice.
Love,

First of all I want to say, I am offering this as a starting point. I am
not offering this as a definitive description. I welcome your thoughts and
changes.
But I did want to remove the skeptical language that someone how infused
throughout the first 3 pages.
I don't mind a critical critique being on the page, but I felt that the
critique was VERY biased to the negative.
I do not know that my changes will hold as they could be changed back. But for
this moment they are live.
Again, I offer this as a starting point and I feel very strongly about the
shifted negatively skewed language that I removed.
Please share your thoughts:
Family Constellations is an alternative therapeutic method which draws on
elements of family systems therapy, existential phenomenology and Zulu
attitudes towards family. Family Constellations explore unresolved generational
trauma and pain that has been passed down through the family system. [1] In a
single session, a Family Constellation can reveal previously unrecognized
systemic dynamics that can span multiple generations in a given family and
impact each successive generation.
Family Constellations are noted to heal in many ways. Two of the most common
are: shifting the energetic entanglements and hidden loyalties that have the
client following in the family footsteps and showing the client a more complete
picture of the family system which can allow the client greater compassion,
love and connection with the family.
Practitioners note that present-day problems and difficulties may be influenced
by traumas suffered in previous generations of the family, (See epigenetics)
even if those affected now are unaware of the original event in the past. A
theoretical foundation for this concept is called The Ancestor Syndrome in
psychology.[2] Bert Hellinger, creator of Family Constellation work, referred
to the relation between present and past problems that are not caused by direct
personal experience as Systemic entanglements and occur when unresolved trauma
has afflicted a family through an event such as murder, suicide, death of a
mother in childbirth, early death of a parent or sibling, war, natural
disaster, emigration, or abuse.[3] The psychiatrist Iván Böszörményi-Nagy
