In this revelatory book, esteemed family therapist Monica McGoldrick explores why families behave as they do, using genograms (family trees) to illustrate family patterns. Mapped out over a three-generation span, repeated estrangements, alliances, even divorces and suicides, prove more than coincidental. McGoldrick uses the genograms of famous families - including the Kennedys, Hepburns, Beethovens and Brontes - the discuss the influence of birth order and sibling rivalry, family myths and secrets, cultural differences, couple relationships and the pivotal role of loss. Relevant questions to ask appear at the end of each chapter, helping the reader become researcher, uncovering information previously withheld, misunderstood or overlooked.
Monica McGoldrick, MSW, PhD, Director of the Multicultural Family InstituteTeacher and on the Clinical Faculty of the Psychiatry Department of the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, is the “godmother of genograms.” She has an international reputation as a trainer and author, and lives in Highland Park, New Jersey.
