Abstract:
This article pays homage to Virginia Satir's exercise "Ingredients of an Interaction." The author describes its adaptation to a series of educational workshops for the public and for professionals. The exercise takes her concept of an internal process and the author's view of self-esteem to a structure designed to bring the two together. It is followed by a self-test for defensive and non-defensive responses to threat.Keywords: Satir; self-esteem; non-defensive; coping stances
