Use of the genogram technique in counseling with Turkish families

Genograms are widely used in practice because they are efficient tools that provide us with a profound understanding of our clients'family patterns, repetitive behaviors related to them, the effects their families have on their choices, and so on. However, not many of these applications have been reported and shared with other professionals. The aim of this study was to report experiences of using genogram technique in counseling with Turkish families. Case illustrations are discussed and a set of recommendations and ideas for further studies of this useful technique is provided. Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
