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.
