Features: Bert Hellinger believes that a powerful systemic dynamic guides each member living within the system, driven by the original need for balance among generations of family members. Our emotional tendencies may lead to seemingly irrational behaviors in pursuit of systemic equilibrium. "The Order of Love" reveals a constant, iron order that sustains this love. · A classic work in family system constellation · Powerful effects · A manual for modern psychological counseling
The book explores the orders in human relationships, which are often already arranged by love. Only when we understand these orders can love succeed. We are often confused by blind, ununderstood love and fail to recognize these orders. However, when true love helps us recognize and respect these orders, our desires can be fulfilled. Love radiates peace and healing to us and those we touch. This book serves as a multi-faceted teaching tool: First, it selects and records therapy sessions without modification, allowing readers to experience the as if they were present, gaining inspiration for resolving their own dilemmas or mental illnesses and finding solutions. Second, it demonstrates and explains key methods of family therapy, particularly through family system constellation, which reveals entanglements and solutions while healing the fear, destruction, and disconnection caused by early separation and loss. Third, it enables those seeking knowledge to gain insight into the orders described in the book while experiencing firsthand that solution-oriented and therapeutic cognition can be achieved through focused "seeing," as if a lightning bolt illuminates the darkness (phenomenological psychotherapy).
