Satir Coping Stances – Chinese Version

Description

Communication stance is a concept proposed by the renowned family therapist Virginia Satir, and it is an important part of the Satir Family Therapy model. This model advocates for recognizing the world from a growth mindset, emphasizing the use of personal inner resources to enhance self-worth and achieve consistent communication with others. In the Satir model, the interaction patterns between individuals and significant others are referred to as communication stances, meaning how a person conveys information, assigns meaning to that information, communicates it, receives it, and reacts both internally and externally.

Factors and Subscales

Virginia Satir categorized communication stances into two main types: congruent communication stances and incongruent communication stances. Healthy communication is referred to as congruent communication, where individuals are able to be aware of themselves and others while expressing themselves consistently. Incongruent communication stances are further divided into four categories: pleasing, blaming, super-reasonable, and distracting.
