Psych 325 Principles Of Couple And Family Counseling Genogram Assignment

The student is expected to accurately and neatly create a genogram. Include the following information when pertinent (and only if you are comfortable in sharing the information with me):

  • Significant dates (births, deaths, marriages, divorces, etc.)
  • Medical history (name the illness, especially if they died)
  • Psychiatric history (e.g., DSM-5 categories)
  • Alcohol or drug abuse
  • Ethnic or cultural background and migration date
  • Religion or religious change
  • Education
  • Occupation, unemployment, disability income (e.g., SSI, or SSDI)
  • Behavioral problems (eating disorders, delinquency)
  • Trouble with the law (prison, jail, DUI’s)
  • Physical or sexual abuse or incest
  • Dates when family members left home:
  • Current location of family members
  • Talents, characterological “gifts,” particular strengths in family members

Write a reflective paper incorporating answers to the following guiding questions:

  • What intergenerational patterns do you notice?
  • What aspects of your genogram were the most interesting to you?
  • What questions came up for you about your family that you do not know, or clearly remember? Are there details about family members of which you are not aware?
  • When family members were in despair, who in their family did they go to?
  • Have there been family members who have been “exiled” by the family?
  • What cultural aspects helped the family continue to thrive/survive?
  • Where there any trauma stories that have been told through generational transmission? How have these stories shaped who you are today? Or your choice to follow this career?
  • What patterns of communication do you notice when family members were angry, sad, joyful, proud, etc?
  • How do these patterns show up for you in your current relationships?

No page limit. Submit hard copy of both genogram and paper at the end of the week.
