Constellation Reading List  

There are numerous publications about Systemic Family Constellation Work in German speaking countries. The most comprehensive online collection is posted by Gunthard Weber, MD – a German psychiatrist who is a
principal developer and teacher of this work.


Other comprehensive clinical data can be found at the following locations:

Chris Walsh, MD, Australian psychiatrist.
Albrecht Mahr, MD, German psychiatrist.
Ursula Franke, PhD, German psychologist.
Hunter Beaumont, PhD.
• Professor Dr. Franz Ruppert.

Of course, you might have noticed already several references on my website to Bert Hellinger, the founder of Family Constellations.
