Summary

First published 15 years ago and fully updated for the first time, this notable work poignantly explains how a method of family history-gathering -- the genogram, or a basic family tree -- can help us to better understand and mend family relationships and dynamics. Through the lens of famous families like the Obamas, Kennedys, and Freuds, McGoldrick, "the godmother of genograms," elaborates on the ways in which genograms can reveal intergenerational patterns and complex family issues, helping you reconnect with your past and invent a new future. --Book Jacket.
