Setting the House on Fire: The Melbourne Interview With Salvador Minuchin

Abstract

Brian Stagoll interviewed Minuchin via satellite in front of a conference plenary audience at the Inaugural Pan Pacific Family Therapy Congress in Melbourne, 2001. Minuchin looks back over his working life, and weaves the various leaders of the family therapy field in the US into an ‘American Quilt’. He also responds to questions about his own impact on the field, and his prediction that by 2000, family therapy would be triumphant.
