Objectives: This study focuses on the change process of clients who have experienced the Satir transformational systemic therapy. The purpose of this study is to trace the clients' change process and to understand the content and structure of each stage of change with focus on intrapsychic change.
Methods: The study used a qualitative methodology. Data collection was done through in-depth interviews on 12 clients who have experienced the Satir transformational systemic therapy. Collected data was qualitatively analyzed using the grounded theory.
Results: The process of change is comprised of 7 stages: first, a stagnant state; second, reflection on “I”; third, recognition of “I” influenced by the past; fourth, reconciliation with “I”; fifth, restoration of “self”; sixth, expansion of “I”; and seventh, a new state of homeostasis. Such process of change normally moves in a cycle, repeats, and accumulates while progressing to a new state of homeostasis. In this process, negative emotions, perceptual system, and expectations all influence each other, ultimately fulfilling our desires. Then, there is a change in "self," i.e., a transformation. Third, the change in the participants is the experience of an entire iceberg and occurs systematically in all parts of the iceberg. Fourth, an individual change takes precedence over a change of system. In the individual change, intrapsycgic change occurs first and the behavior pattern on different situations change afterwards.
Conclusions: The study is significant as it shows the clients' change process stage by stage and displays each stage's intrapsychic contents and their structures in detail, which would help family therpiasts in making professional interventions.
