Assignment:
Create a genogram for your family of origin including three generations (your siblings, parents, parent's siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.).
The genogram is drawn by hand, photographed, and submitted in addition to your three-page summary. Include family dynamics, communication styles, mental/physical health, boundaries and family patterns and include a master key to the genogram. Birth dates, or ages, help provide context, so please provide as much detail as you can.
Include a three-page summary of the genogram you created by describing the roles and patterns that emerge in it, using concepts from the systems theories that are discussed in the previous week's Learning Resources (relationship dynamics, boundaries, communication styles, mental/physical health etc.).
Explain how genograms may be useful in couples and family counseling.
Briefly explain how your understanding of your own family genogram might impact your work as a professional counselor.
Your final document will be in APA 7 standard format for student papers (See Section 2.2 of the APA 7 manual) and will include a title page, your 3 to 4 page summary and analysis of your genogram, the genogram itself, and a reference page.
