Genograms in Family Assessment

"Widely used by both family therapists and family physicians, the genogram is a graphic way of organizing the mass of information gathered during a family assessment and finding patterns in the family system. Until now, however, genogram symbols have sometimes been used idiosyncratically and underlying assumptions for generating hypotheses have been fuzzy. Both entertaining and instructive, Genograms in Family Assessment is the ideal way to introduce all those involved in family treatment--family therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and trainees in these fields--to this essential assessment tool."--Back cover.
