Salvador Minuchin on Family Therapy
The founder of Structural Family Therapy, Minuchin has been inspiring therapists for over half a century with his wisdom and insight into what actually helps people change. You've read about him in your textbooks—now here's a chance to get to know the person behind the legend.

In this compelling interview, Minuchin sits down with one of his beloved mentees and talks freely about his evolution as a therapist over the past fifty years. He reveals how his revolutionary spirit and passion for social justice led him to challenge the status quo of psychodynamic therapy and create a more effective model for working with youth and their families. He discusses some of the nuts and bolts of Structural Family Therapy and offers suggestions for how to bring out the best in struggling families.

This heartwarming dialogue is sure to inspire both new and seasoned therapists to look for the untapped potential that exists in each person, no matter how troubled they may be when they arrive in our offices.

Note: English language subtitles are available for those who have difficulty understanding Dr. Minuchin's accent.
"At 88 years of age, Salvador Minuchin is more than a Master of family therapy: His is the living embodiment of systemic wisdom enacted with families in stress or pain. This DVD spans a life as well as a career, brings the personal into professional practice, points to the future, and provides alternatives for training needed more now than when he first started. Watching Salvador Minuchin, one clearly sees the difference between fifty years of experience as opposed to one year of experience fifty times over."
 - James Robert Bitter, EdD, Professor of Counseling, East Tennessee State University

"This interview with family therapy's greatest therapist is a goldmine of nuanced insights. Only an insider like Jay Lappin could guide Minuchin's discussion of his life and work into such a comprehensive statement. I plan to watch this wonderful video many times over."
 - Michael P. Nichols, PhD, Author of Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods

In this fascinating interview with his beloved friend and mentee of over thirty years, Jay Lappin, Salvador Minuchin discusses a wide range of themes, from his early influences to his thoughts on how to best teach new therapists. With candor and humility, he discusses personal and provocative topics such as: 
• the impact of being a Jew in an anti-Semitic country and how he developed a sense of being the “Other;”
• why psychodynamic therapy isn’t enough;
• pivotal moments and mistakes;
• the essential elements of therapeutic change;
• how therapists are too nice and why they need to challenge their clients more;
• the importance of “daring when you’re doubting;” and
• why he thinks Attachment Theory doesn’t make any sense.

This is a great interview to watch with colleagues or to show in a class because it is sure to spark lively debate and to get viewers really thinking about their own beliefs about therapy.
