Useful Books

The following book titles are offered only as a supplement to your research in these areas. The list is not comprehensive but rather a list of titles that I find myself frequently quoting from or using with clients.

Genograms: Both of these titles are useful for helping develop your genogram, a mapping of your family system.
a. Genograms. McGoldrick, Gerson and Shellenberger. Norton and Company. New York.
b. Family Ties That Bind. Richardson. Self-Counsel Press. Bellingham, WA.

The Nature of God: I have found these useful with clients who struggle with the fundamental nature of God, often by placing our expectations on our Creator.
a. Your God is Too Small. Phillips. Collier. New York.
b. When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Kushner. Avon. New York.

Sex Addiction
a. Out of the Shadows. Carnes. Hazelden. Center City, MN.

Marriage
