Genogram and sculpting set

Description

Genograms are a key tool and approach within systemic social work. The genogram is a dynamic pictorial representation of a family system that helps to map out who is in the family, how people get on with each other, key events in the family history and help us to understand family culture and family patterns across generations. They are incredibly powerful and versatile and support both our assessment and therapeutic work.

This handy genogram kit contains a magnetic whiteboard, pens and erasure so that genograms can be drawn up easily and mistakes corrected wherever the session is being held. The whiteboard rolls up for storage into the bag sized tube and can be rolled out and used on a flat surface or stuck to a metal surface such as a fridge and used to present. At the end of the session the genogram can be photographed and rubbed away ready for the next session, minimising the amount of paper and confidential material being carried around.

The sculpting beads extend the genogram practise, using structural theory to offer practitioners and clients a way to explore and play around with ‘closeness’ and ‘distance’ between different members of the family system.

The set contains a guide to the genogram signs and symbols and directions around using a sculpt as taught on the Systemic Social Work foundation year programme.
