Original Title: "Du gehoerst zu uns!"

In this gripping account of her work, Marianne Franke-Gricksch speaks from her experience as a teacher and therapist, describing how systemic ideas enable fundamentally new and effective learning and encourage creative cooperation between students, teachers, and parents. Rather than viewing the participants in this process as isolated individuals, she shows how people and their environment constantly influence and change each other.
Franke-Gricksch's own systemic view connects Bert Hellinger's work on the power of one's bond with his or her family of origin with various other approaches within systemic theory. The author's reports are consistently supported by practical examples from the everyday classroom situation. Especially fascinating is the children's enthusiasm and array of ideas that they use to pick up and transfer the new impulses and procedures. Readers who are new to these methods will also be amazed at the powerful effect that is released by systemic thinking and action.

Reviews

This is a special book. It contains an abundance of experience and is close to everyday life. It is full of examples that are impressive and give us hope. They urge us to try it out ourselves. At the same time, it's a clear and practical guide for parents and teachers who are trying to change for the better situations that are difficult or which even appear to be hopeless.
