Developed primarily by Bowenian intergenerational therapists, genograms have evolved into largely atheoretical tools used by many therapists. Given that constructivist‐based therapies have become the most popular genre of contemporary family therapies (Sprenkle & Piercy, 1992), the author examines how genograms can be used to augment a solution‐oriented approach. Specific interventions, case examples, and potential problems associated with such an approach are discussed, along with potential implications for family‐of‐origin work.
