Constellations of Order (Brigitte Champetier)

The clinical style of Brigitte Champetier de Ríos within the systemic approach is notable for its sobriety, methodological rigor, and strict adherence to the three classic Hellingerian laws (belonging, order, balance). Her book Constelaciones familiares: orden, jerarquía, equilibrio (Editorial Grupo Cero) is a technical manual for therapists who want to train in the classical phase of the method without adopting later deviations.

Distinctive characteristics of her work:

Fidelity to the nineties method: Champetier maintains the methodology she learned directly from Hellinger in the nineties, before the 'new constellations' phase. She works with explicit healing phrases, clear direction from the Constellator, and careful placement of representatives according to systemic laws.

Methodological sobriety: no concessions to abstract spiritual, mystical, or esoteric vocabulary. The work is phenomenological—what happens is observed—but the language is strictly clinical-therapeutic.

Editorial line: Champetier works from the classic Hellinger method (1980s-1990s) (especially on victims and perpetrators). She maintains the classic ethical position of absolute respect for the victim's dignity.

Importance for the field: for Daniela and other Spanish-speaking Constellators, Champetier is an essential reference as an example of how the classic method can be worked with clinical rigor, solid ethics, without adopting the particularities of the late Hellinger. Her style is a recommended 'entry point' for those new to the method.
