{"product_id":"genograms-assessment-and-treatment-4th-edition","title":"Genograms: Assessment and Treatment (4th Edition)","description":"\u003cb\u003eWidely used by both family therapists and all health care\nprofessionals, the genogram is a graphic way of organizing the mass of\ninformation gathered during a family assessment and finding patterns in\nthe family system for more targeted treatment.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow updated and  expanded in its third edition, and featuring  revised genograms for easier reading, reflecting the growing and widespread use of genograms for  clinical intervention, this best-selling text  provides a standard method for constructing a  genogram, doing a genogram interview, and  interpreting the results. Genograms of famous  families—Sigmund Freud, Woody Allen and Mia  Farrow, the Kennedys, Jane Fonda and Ted Turner, Bill Clinton, Princess Diana, the Roosevelts, and Thomas Jefferson, to name a few—bring the text to life, and help to elucidate the principles of  family systems theory and systemic interviewing, which form the basis of genogram work. Once these principles have been explained, the authors go on to present the important clinical applications of genograms in both family therapy and family  medicine. These applications include the  effective assessment of patients’ risk for  emotional problems such as anxiety or  depression; structural patterns among families  such as divorce and remarriage; relationship  patterns such as enmeshment, conflicts, and  cut-offs; recent and chronic life stressors such as pregnancy, acute illness, poverty, and racism; and family life cycle transitions and  developmental crises, among other uses. By  providing a fascinating view into the richness  of family dynamics, McGoldrick and her coauthors provide an invaluable guide to clinicians for  accurately charting a family’s structure, making it easier to scan for potential problems and take proactive steps to utilize resources when  necessary.","brand":"W.
