Genogramme in der Familienberatung

Tips and tricks for working with genograms - informative and illustrative. Genograms are a practical method for graphically representing facts gathered in the initial phase of family counseling: information about the patient and their relationships with relatives from their own, previous, and subsequent generations. The book explains, using engaging examples, how to draw genograms, ask the right questions during conversations, and interpret the results. Readers will learn the symbols and procedures essential for notation and discover how to utilize the drawn genograms for diagnosis and therapy. Through case studies and genograms of numerous families with famous members - Sigmund Freud, Jackie Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Princess Diana, to name just a few - the effectiveness of this tool is thoroughly demonstrated. Fascinating insights into the dynamics of diverse family structures create an invaluable guide for therapeutic work. For the fifth edition, the entire text has been revised, and the symbols used since the fourth edition have been slightly modified. The new edition takes into account recent developments in family counseling and reflects the increasing use of genograms in clinical interventions, particularly the evolving application of genograms in family play.
