VIDEO: Esther Perel on the Legacy of Salvador Minuchin

A maverick and a visionary in the ’60s and ’70s, Salvador Minuchin transformed the very idea of what a therapist was supposed to be from the self-contained cipher sitting mostly silent behind the patient’s head into something dazzlingly different-a brash interventionist willing to make people change regardless of what they were feeling or whether they even knew what they were feeling. Beyond that, he put forth a brand new model of psychotherapy-family therapy.
In the following video clip from our 2017 Symposium dinner event, The First-Ever Networker Lifetime Achievement Award celebrating Salvador Minuchin, renowned couples therapist Esther Perel shares her memory of working with Minuchin in her early days as a therapist.

Per Alain de Botton, School of Life, Philosopher, “ One Aspect of Love is the sharing of knowledge (he said from Plato). Dr. Perel is phenomenal, but to know that she has a great mentor, means he is even more phenomenal. Therefore, I need to learn more about him. Thank you for posting.
