ABSTRACT

You saw how to use the genogram, learned about systemic thinking and the five-step tango of the solution-focused interview, but you also had a glimpse of how reality unfolds in a real family and a real family@business.

We touched upon themes that occur frequently but are seldom discussed: nonfamily family, demoting or even firing someone who has been closely involved in the history of the family@business, strife between siblings, life cycle drama's like the near-collapse of John and Annie's marriage, family@business group dynamics, etc.
