Therapists experience in venogram use in clinical settings can use this resource both personally and professionally to understand, challenge, and address issues faced by their clients and themselves throughout the therapeutic process. . .. Clinical supervisors can strengthen their work with and the work of student clinicians by adopting the casebook for use in practicum or other clinical courses. The Genogram Casebook is like having a personal conversation with Monica McGoldrick.

To be able to create the kind of connections our clients want in life. This book is so very helpful
