Transcending the Problems of the Black Graphic Designer to Success in the Marketplace

There are few black graphic designers in the marketplace today [1985]. For many years it has been the concern of the writer as to the reason why. With so many fields and opportunities now open to blacks, it's almost unbelievable that their presence in the graphic design industry is slight. In addition, the writer has encountered numerous young black graphic design students who have been misguided. These students suffer tremendous hardships due to the lack of resources, professional training , and accurate information about the industry. It is the hope of the writer that the findings of the thesis will aid in any capacity to increase the visibility of qualified blacks in the graphic design marketplace.

Harnessing the power of genograms in psychotherapy [videorecording]

This is a rare opportunity to watch the therapist who developed and popularized genograms demonstrate how to actually create and utilize them in a therapy session. In this video, you will see Monica McGoldrick in action as she masterfully conducts an initial interview with a new client, demonstrating the step-by-step process of gathering historical information, creating the genogram, and contextualizing the client's presenting problem within a multigenerational family systems framework. John is a 39-year-old African-American graphic designer who is having marital problems. Mystified and distressed by his pattern of distancing from his wife who is six months pregnant, he desperately wants to understand why he is pulling away. McGoldrick's focused interest in John's family story gently guides him in a thorough investigation of the social and historical context of his current struggles. With McGoldrick as an ally, John makes fascinating discoveries as he uncovers surprising coincidences, poignant tragedies and inspiring sources of resilience. Watching McGoldrick engage a client in exploring the connection between his presenting problem and his family-of-origin issues is a treat in and of itself, but a bonus feature of this video is following McGoldrick's step-by-step creation of John's genogram on the spot. It makes for a compelling and highly educational experience. By watching this video, you will learn how to: utilize the genogram to place clients' presenting problems in a historical and social context; respond when a client resists exploring family issues; explain to clients why exploring family background is relevant.
