“…Accordingly, once a client can begin to see his or her mother in a less distorted fashion, there will be less emotional reactivity and less anxiety about the relationship (Kerr & Bowen, 1988). Diminished anger and blaming often contribute to appreciation and enhanced communication (Howe, 1990). Additionally, once freed from the distortion, anger, and tendencies to blame, the client may naturally find his or her own strength and energy.…”

“…Indeed, as McGoldrick (1995) wrote, "the more we know about our families, the more we know about ourselves, and the more freedom we have to determine how we want to live" (p. 21). Genograms help clients see their parents more objectively by understanding that family patterns have been passed down from generations (Howe, 1990;Kuehl, 1995;McGoldrick, 1995;McGoldrick, Gerson, & Shellenberger, 1999). Additionally, genograms offer alternative explanations for relationship difficulties (Wachtel, 1982) and can be modified for a variety of presenting problems (Magnuson & Shaw, 2003).…”

This article features a therapeutic counseling technique that can be used with clients who struggle with painful relationships with their mothers. Instead of focusing solely on unmet needs, this technique helps clients gain more realistic perceptions of their mothers, with the premise that clearer perceptions will lead to honesty and acceptance. On the basis of Bowen’s theory of intergenerational family therapy, the strategy provides a context and common language for examining mothers’ strengths and shortcomings. In addition to the authors’ “gaps” technique, other family systems strategies to help clients reconnect with their mothers are briefly described. Although the counseling technique is explained in the context of mother-child relationships, it is equally applicable to other important family-oforigin relationships, including fathers and their adult children.

“…Others have focused on adapting the genogram for use with specific issues or presenting problems. Some examples include tracking of intergenerational transmission of incest and aggression (Bennett, 1992;Doumas, Margolin, & John, 1994), addressing marital difficulties (Crosby, 1990;Sherman, 1993), enhancing academic success and facilitating career decisions (Moon, Coleman, McCollum, Nelson, & Jenson-Scott, 1993;Rita & Adejanju, 1993), and improving mother-daughter relationships (Howe, 1990). Finally, the genogram has been adapted to fit certain theoretical orientations and approaches.…”

The Genogram: From Diagnostics to Mutual Collaboration

2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, the authors present the need for the integration of mutual client-therapist collaboration into the process of genogram construction and demonstrate through case examples from their own practice how such integration enhances the therapeutic power of the genogram. The authors also suggest possible changes in the training of marriage and family therapists in order for such integration to become more easily incorporated, especially by beginning-level therapists. The collaborative genogram is consistent with postmodern principles and recaptures Bowen’s idea of mutual discovery in therapy.

This bibliography is a continuation of those published by Berry and Daniel (1984, 1985), Daniel (1981a, 1981b), Fulkerson and Wise (1987, 1990), Fulkerson, Wise, and Ancelet (1988), Johnson and Daniel (1974), Morgan and Daniel (1983), Mosley and Daniel (1982), and Wise and Fulkerson (1986, 1989). Search methods, criteria for inclusion, and other considerations were similar to those used previously. We have also continued the cumulative numbering practice of previous bibliographies. We have included a number of pre-1990 citations not listed in previous bibliographies because we continue to terminate our search in June. A noteworthy observation about this year's bibliography concerns the increase in the number of articles reporting research on college teaching in general and on the education of women, minorities, and nontraditional students in particular.
