[edit] Distilation or dissemination
I think the text above sound blur:
"[...]However Virginia herself was known to be rather uneasy about the distillation of her work[...]"
Should not it be "dissemination of her work" instead of "distillation of her work"? See Merriam-Webster's entry: [[1]]

- I'm not quite sure what that sentence is even supposed to mean. What was best summed up by Jerry Weinberg: her work, or her uneasiness about its distillation? Even with the change I'm making, I still don't get the point. I'm a wiki newbie - I trust that if I'm making wikiquette errors in my editing that someone will set me straight.

I believe it should be distillation. Jerry Weinberg's quote which supports this is that he wanted the chicken (Virginia Satir) and not the chicken soup (NLP).

[edit] Reference to Names
Is it standard to refer to people by their first or last name alone after giving their full name at first? She is referred to as Virginia in the second para, then Virginia Satir in the third - should it just be Satir? Guidelines say to be bold - so I'm changing it. ;o)

I don't know what the Wikipedia standard is, but I read somewhere that Virginia Satir disliked being referred to as Satir.
