Foreword
We live in times of massive and irreversible global change. Accelerating destruction of the biosphere by the onslaught of petroleum-based industrial civilization is bringing about what evolutionary scientists call “the sixth extinction.” Population pressures are combining with environmental degradation to create a “perfect storm” that threatens the foundations of the social order—even as feckless politicians squabble about protecting their parochial interest.
These rapid global changes demand that once-isolated fields be studied as multidimensional systems.

One of the most original and influential pioneers of the family systems approach is the German former priest and family therapist Bert Hellinger, who is one of the three main teachers whom The Constellation Approach founders Jamy and Peter Faust credit as contributing to their own unique approach.

As Jamy and Peter Faust put it, there are certain “threads of consciousness” that connect family members regardless of time-space distances and regardless even of the boundaries of birth and death. It is here that we find in the Hellinger-influenced systemic approach the most radical departure from conventional individual or family systems therapists. The majority of family systems therapists,
