Hi Vivian as far as I know Hellinger doesn't write much any more on
technicalities. The books you cite are from a time when FC were very different.
I have seen him placing the whole family as their own reperesentatives, even
placing children to represent older people. Things that were preferably not to
be done in the times of classical constellations. Of course he uses other
people for the client as well, depending on what? just the feeling of course.
Some times you feel for doing one way or the other. There is not a prescription
for that. Not almost for anything in this job.

I wonder if I could ask for some help: I am doing some writing at
present on constellations and in particular about the use of a
representative for the client. In later years Hellinger has come to use
the client themselves quite often in the constellation, without a
representative. However in the early days I remember him saying at a
seminar I attended that it was better to use a representative because
the actual client was likely to be too entangled to be in the
constellation at the beginning. If there is one I need a written
reference, and I can't find it. I have gone through his books, most
particularly LHS, Acknowledging What is and Touching Love etc, and I
can't find anything on it. I am pretty sure I have read something about
this somewhere, but I can't find it.
Does anyone have easily to hand a written reference to this in any of
Hellnger's books? It would be enormously helpful to me if you have... I
hope that this is a legitimate use of CT!
warmest wishes for the festive season to everyone.
