Through the lens of famous families like the Obamas, Kennedys, and Freuds, McGoldrick, "the godmother of genograms," elaborates on the ways in which genograms can reveal intergenerational patterns and complex family issues, helping you reconnect with your past and invent a new future. --Book Jacket.
