The three-generation perspective is part of the standards of systemic therapy and counseling. To visualize it clearly, using a genogram is the best approach. It reveals the social background of clients, helps reconstruct relationships, highlights patterns, and provides ideas for alternative decisions. Bruno Hildenbrand, in addition to the classic approaches to genogram work, presents a theoretically grounded method that remains consistently case-oriented. He draws on his academic work as a microsociologist at the University of Jena, as well as his experience as a teaching therapist and supervisor at the Meilen Training Institute for Systemic Therapy and Counseling. The author elaborates on significant aspects, such as first names as "interpretive resources" or sibling relationships.
