• From the possibility of a nurturing primary triad of father, mother, and child she conceived a process of Human Validation.In the mid-1970s her work was extensively studied by the co-founders of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who used it as one of the three fundamental models of NLP.[8] Bandler and Grinder also collaborated with Satir to author Changing With Families for Science and Behavior Books, which bore the subtitle ‘A Book About Further Education for Being Human’.
• AVANTA is an international organization that carries on her work and promotes her approach to family therapy.Steve Andreas, one of Bandler and Grinder’s students, wrote Virginia Satir: the patterns of her magic (1991) in which he summarized the major patterns of Satir’s work, and then showed how Satir applied them in a richly annotated verbatim transcript of a videotaped session titled, “Forgiving Parents.”.
