Family Genogram & Analysis

For this assignment you will create a genogram. The genogram will be a current genogram. After you have completed the genogram you will complete a 3-4 pages analysis discussing how the family processes have changed over three (3) generations. For this Genogram Assignment, you may use your own family orone of the following shows or the movie

“Everybody Loves Raymond

Full House

“Fuller House”

Blackish

Fresh Prince of Bel Air

The Cosby Show

Thats so Raven

Suite Life of Zack and Cody

The Family Stone

Or Pick any of your favorite Family movie of show

and then write 3–4 pages long paper covering

The genogram should include information for three (3) generations for both maternal and paternal sides (yourself, your parents and aunts and uncles and your grandparents or people from the show). You may include cousins or grandparents siblings if they are critical to understanding the family process.

Please include the following information for all individuals: 1) name or pseudonym, 2) age, 3) date of birth, 4) date of death if applicable and 5) occupation; 6) marriages/divorces/cohabitation; 7) proper shading of boxes to indicate any substance abuse and serious mental or physical problems. Remember to list the type of substance abuse or serious mental or physical problem underneath individual names.

Please include a cover page to help maintain confidentiality of your genogram and your write-up. See the APA template and resources on D2L. Please
do not
use poster boards for genogram. Limit the size of each genogram to an 11 x 17 piece of paper or smaller. Genograms larger than the indicated size will be lose 50% of available points. You may use Microsoft Word or PowerPoint to create your genogram chart. All assignments must be submitted in .doc, .docx, or .ppt format.

The analysis is a report of your/their familys history or a story about your/their family throughout time and how they got to where they are now. It is not used to track only mental illness, substance abuse, and divorce. Positive
and
negative family traits can be passed through family generations and this analysis can highlight many traits, not just what the example shows. The analysis is meant to
examine concepts
from class. For example: gender roles, communication styles/types, parenting practices/styles, etc. and apply them to your own family setting. Choose concepts from the course that are interesting to you and trace them throughout the different generations of your family. Remember to note how they have changed or stayed the same and how they are apparent in your own life today. Make distinct and direct connections between your family processes and course content (textbook/lectures).

You will need to submit your completed Genogram and Analysis to the D2L dropbox as stated on the course schedule.
