iT IS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ME THAT YOUR DEGREE IS FROM SAYBROOK, and your paper..could you share it with me? Frank Lawliss and wife, Jeanne,were here in Texas...and Frank was teaching at UNT when I started my doctoral program..(.and was using Carl Simontons' visualization to address stage 4 cancer in the late 80's/early 90's.) They are connected to Saybrook, I think. Currently, I am collecting transcripts and course descriptions for completing my doctorate at American Christian College and Seminary in Oklahoma City--distance learning...I hope to use my disseration as needed research/dissemination of information about "the work" to the field of gerontology. My own family constellation work is unfolding. Best, calista Streitmatter

>Friends - I recently completed my Masters degree in psychology at
>Saybrook Graduate School. My culminating project was a paper titled,
>"Bert Hellinger's Family Constellation and Its Place in the
>Psychotherapeutic Tradition." In the section that discussed the
>lineages that led the development of the method, I focused on three
>primary sources: existential-phenomenology, family systems theory and
>Zulu ancestor worship.
>
>While doing research on a related topic, I came across the website of
>the Bert Hellinger Institute Africa. In looking at their site, I saw
>the standard blurb about Bert's 16 years living among the Zulu, but
>nothing more. I wrote them members of the Institute the following
>question:
>
>"You make passing mention in the Introduction page of Hellinger's 16
>years living among the Zulus in South Africa. Otherwise, you do not
>seem to connect his work to Zulu culture. My question is whether you
>agree that Hellinger's stance towards parents and ancestors is closely
>related to Zulu ancestor worship? If you do agree, can you reflect on
>why this connection is not featured on your website?
>
>I am a member of Chris Walsh's Constellation Talk Yahoo group. If you
>would like to respond to the larger community let me know and I will
>submit this question to the group.
>
>I look forward to your responses."
>
>I quickly received two very interesting responses. The second included
>a request to circulate our exchanges to the Constellation Talk group.
>One thing we all share in common is we are English speaking people
>living oceans away from England on land originally settled by native
>peoples. To me this is a ripe area for discussion.
>
>Chris - Can you assist in having these South African practitioners
>gaining access to the Yahoo group?
>
>In the meanwhile, I will forward their responses to me in separate
>emails.
