Hi Galina,
I have participated to several workshops where a schizophrenic mother(50 years
old) and her sun were participating too. After two workshops no improvement
were evident, except the fact that after the first time, when she could not do
any work at all, was very closed, in the second was designated to represent
somebody s wife. In the constellation and after it she behave like a
schizophrenic, without being able to make distinction between contellation and
the real situation, between her and her role. It seemed that the things got
worse.
But, after the third workshop, which lasted one week, and involved her sun and
her daughter in law, the very spectacular improvement appeared. She became
communicative, open and for the first time after one year she was smiling and
she was adequate. For the people that had known her, and knew how is
schizophrenia perceived in psychiatry, this was like a miracle.
What happened in that workshop? When she worked, the facilitator asked her to
choose 15 participants to represent her ancestors(She did not know anything
about a murder or something like that in her family. If something occured it
was totaly covered, secret). She asked her ancestors for help, honoured them,
and some of them react very clear and strong.
In that night we saw her for the first time smiling, and we experience a strong
feeling of humble.
When I remember that I feel the same, I feel humbling.

Galina,
I have worked and participated in constellations involving schizophrenia.
One of the most memorable was one in which I represented the young
schizophrenic. Several months later I ran into his mother and she reported
significant improvement. A little over a year and half after the
Constellation a young man called to make an appointment with me. When we met
in my offices and in the brief interview I realized this was the young man
that I had represented and I can report that he has no vestiges of the
condition. I am not a psychiatrist; but, I have had considerable experience
working with mental conditions and working with him on life and work issues
I am clear that his current behaviors are not that of a schizophrenic. He
subsequently mentioned that he has gotten a clean bill of health from
licensed professionals.
Having facilitated several constellations involving schizophrenics what I
have learned is that the schizophrenic is entangled with a murder that
occurred between 4-7 generations back and the schizophrenic represents the
two excluded persons: the perpetrator and the victim.
Trust this information is of use to you.
Fondly,
Stephen

Hi, everybody,
I have a question about schizophrenia. Has anyone had experience working
with schizophrenia (especially not directly with a patient, but his/her
relatives). Are there known cases of improvement as a result of
Constellations?
Thank you for any information!
