Family constellations work has broadened and developed in many different
fields as a method of counseling and therapy. In addition to
constellations in organizations and schools, applying this approach to
working with illness and disease has expanded the potential for healing
effects in the field of medicine as well. A view of transgenerational
entanglements and family dynamics casts a new light on health and
disease, and the insights gained from constellations with illness and
health problems have led to a more holistic view of those who are ill.
In Even if it Costs me my Life, Stephan Hausner aims to provide a
picture of the healing potential of systemic constellations, entering
into the reciprocal effects of family dynamics and illness. Extensive
use of case studies demonstrates this technique in action, revealing how
existing illnesses and pathologies are rooted within the family dynamic,
and setting up healing postures to facilitate growth, development, and
direction.
