family-assessment-14

Utilizing McGoldrick’s textbook, students will complete their family genogram (I HAVE ATTACHED THIS), which will include the following components:

  1. Three generations
  2. Marriages/divorces
  3. Ages
  4. Deaths
  5. Physical, Mental Illness/addiction
  6. Interactional patterns (for example: distant, close, conflictual)
  7. First name of each family member
  8. Identify yourself on the genogram

Students will also provide a three page analysis of their genogram. The analysis will include common themes from generation to generation, observations of interactional patterns and, if known, how (and/or when) these patterns developed. Students may also include overall lifestyle and health of family members, any behavioral patterns that continued from generation to generation or any patterns that were discontinued (for example, a father who broke the cycle of physical abuse).

Students will share the strengths of the family system as well as their overall observations of the family system and what they gleaned about their family as a result of this assignment. Also, provide a discussion of how genograms are beneficial to counseling and how you will use them in future counseling sessions.

The paper will follow APA (title page, Times New Roman, 12 point font size, double space). Grammar, spelling, punctuation will also be graded.
