The ability to provide assistance is an art. Like any other art, it requires a skill that can be learned and mastered. The person helping must feel the person he is helping and understand what is happening to him. In addition, he must understand whether help is appropriate and possible for a given person, and be aware of the limits of his capabilities and the consequences of his actions. This book is written based on materials from training seminars by Bert Hellinger, the creator of the systemic family constellation method. It provides many examples of short-term therapy using various approaches. The book is addressed primarily to those who, by virtue of their profession, are called upon to help other people: doctors, psychotherapists, employees of various social institutions, teachers, priests, consultants. But “help” is a universal concept, and therefore reading the book will be useful for a wide range of people, including all parents.
