Review
This is a very helpful workbook on the genogram. I wish I'd used this during graduate work. It would have helped me get started on the genogram in a more engaging manner. --Linda Wiemer

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for those new to genograms,
This review is from: A Family Genogram Workbook (Paperback)
Through these simple instructions, our family patterns, both good and bad, are revealed. This helps us to make better decisions about whether or not to give in to what is 'just the way we do things', or seriously consider and/or re-define what you really believe in. I give this book to everyone I work with in premarital counseling; by working on their family diagrams, they come to know better what they will be like as a married person. I highly recommend this book.
