Summary: A Map for Counseling
Review: If you're a Marriage and Family Therapist, or a counselor or psychologist this book will help you. It teaches you how to map out families and family patterns. It helps you to understand the family connection to your client's problems. Your client will also gain a better understanding of themselves and their family during the process of mapping. This book is a great tool.

Summary: Great Book
Review: If you're not familiar with Genograms you will after you read this book. It tells you how to use this book for your family sessions and by using genograms as an therapeutic technique. It I recommend you buy a genogram software so it can help you do what. It doesn't come with a CD. Which is the down side of this book you will have to pay extra money for that.I used this book for my Marriage and Family System Class.

Summary: Understanding relationship patterns in your family
Review: This book came not only highly recommended by my counselor but from my graduate school as well so you know this is a good book for someone getting into the field. I also think this book could be helpful because it is written in layman's terms but it depends on what you are looking to gain out of the book. This book looks at repetitive patterns that happen over the multigenerational transmission process. Patterns that seem to repeat themselves over time and are passed on. Why they happen, what to look for and what questions to ask. Genograms can be extremely revealing even if all you have are only facts. Correlations and assumptions can be made and drawn upon. I'd recommend this book to psychology type students and maybe individuals in the therapy process.

Summary: Great tool for a wide range of clients.
Review: This was an assigned book in my graduate program. I thought it was a nice tool but way too time intensive for the majority of work I do. I have found that it is a wonderful tool for working with people who have an organic impairment or concrete thinking paterns. I have drawn the geno-gram on a white board during the first few sessions with the client. It helps me get a clearer history from the client and gives them a visual, which can be helpful in processing information.
