The need for a new method for assessment and imaging of
families, couples, and individuals has emerged in response to
changes in family forms during the twentieth century. In the
twentieth century divorce, remarriage, out-of wedlock child
bearing, and alternate life styles have replaced monogamy as
predominant form of marriage and the family. The methods of
representation and assessment on the other hand remain based on the
nineteenth century eugenics models embedded in the modern day
genograms. This book is based on the premise that changes in family
structure require changes in methods of representation, assessment,
research, and teaching. This book introduces such a method in the
form of a model named the affinograph. The affinograph provides a
method which allows a greater respect for individuals, especially
if their relationships contradict the preconceived institutional
notions of marriage and the family.
Improvement in visualizing families of various types and
complexities can make affinographs an important new method that can
bring together the theory, research, and application across varied
disciplines that comprise family sciences.
