Summary:

"Norman Paul believed that in order to live in the present, the past had to be acknowledged, its secrets revealed, and its losses mourned. In the spirit of Murray Bowen, who routinely challenged families while connecting with them, Paul used genograms to highlight family patterns and created dynamic videos in which he asked clients to confront themselves, their relatives and their feelings. He asked clients to speak with and walk in the footsteps of deceased relatives by visiting their gravesites, writing letters to them and even reviewing their asylum records. It was only by confronting and mourning the pain they inherited from their ancestors in these evocative ways that they could finally step out from the shadow of tragedy to live freely and fully. This video will move you to deeper levels of personal and professional awareness and deepen your skills for working with families with unmourned loss."-- Provided by publisher
