Manual of Geometrical Representations of Relationships Broderick MD Msc Jones

Lifestyle arrangements, social situations, and interactions between couples and within families are holistically represented in the geometric diagrams illustrated in this book. These diagrams can be used by (but not limited to) psychiatrist, psychologist and counselors to provide a rapid but accurate assessment of a patient's historical or current lifestyle circumstances and modifications that could influence a patient's life. The use of these diagrams in a patient's chart or counselors notes can eliminate subjectivity in written descriptions which can occur when dealing with psychosocial events in a subject's life. The objectivity provided by these diagrams provides a vehicle of raw data when communicating with other health care providers and counselors. They can provide a means of communication between friends, couples and generally anyone who might have difficulty talking about what otherwise might be a sensitive topic. On a personal level, they can also be used as symbols by individuals who desire to express what they have experienced or where they are currently in their life journey. These diagrams are interesting, very easy to interpret and memorize if one so desires.
