Genogramm- und Netzwerkanalyse

In order to understand the familial and social relationships of one¿s clients, the therapist can use various means to depict the ongoing therapy and counseling processes. Genograms and network analysis are the best-known tools to this end.What is the present life situation of the client and what is the client¿s history? What is the structure of the client¿s family and what resources do clients have at their disposal? These are the things a counselor needs to know before beginning to work with the client¿s system.Jürgen Beushausen presents a number of case examples to illustrate three methods for looking at the client and the client¿s world: the genogram, the network analysis and the visual analysis. Of particular practical interest in all forms of psychosocial work is the downloadable annotated manual for creating genograms.
