Create a genogram for your family of origin including three generations (your siblings, parents, parent’s siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.).
The genogram can be drawn by hand, photographed, and submitted as an image, OR it can be created with a computer program and submitted as a file. Make sure you include a master key to the genogram.
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 you believe 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.
