Beeton, PhD, LCSW, co-author of Assessing Family Relationships: A Family Life Space Drawing Manual The Attachment-Based Focused Genogram Workbook is useful for any therapist interested in using visual tools to gain a focus on treatment. This workbook instructs clearly the process of determining the interconnectedness that is part of any systemic treatment. Moving beyond a summary of those simply involved in treatment, the Focused Genogram leads the clinician in a step-by-step manner into a case conceptualization that incorporates a sophisticated link to attachment theory. All students and practicing clinicians could benefit from the workbook in that it helps take copious information, and allows one to gain precise understanding of multiple dimensions in a visual format. Following the procedure laid out by Dr. Rita DeMaria, et al, will assist a therapist to reduce the complexity of clinical work and create a method to explore the dynamics of any case.

Scott Browning, PhD, ABPP, professor, Department of Professional Psychology, Chestnut Hill College, Philadelphia This workbook is a useful guide for our Couples and Family Therapy programs' practicum and internship. The authors have written in a way that engages a new generation of students and therapists, as well as clinical supervisors and researchers. The workbook provides helpful assessment tools such as the Focused Genograms, which are based predominantly on Attachment Theory and Bowen Family Systems Theory. I am confident that my students will find this required workbook beneficial as they use it alongside the textbook Focused Genograms in our Couple and Family Therapy graduate programs. Jay E.
