Case Example:

Satir worked with a family of four, including Bob and his pregnant wife Betty, ages 36 and 27 respectively, Bob’s two biological sons with his ex-wife Marsha. Aaron is four and Robbie is three years old. Bob currently has custody of the two boys related to allegations of abuse by their mother. Bob, Betty, Aaron, and Robbie have been a family unit for only about a year. While Bob is determined that the blended family include his two boys, Betty would prefer to leave the family rather than risk Robbie and/or Aaron harming her unborn baby.
