Family of Origin Project/Mid Term *Due 10/10/2021
The purpose of this project is to increase self-awareness of the impact of your family of origin on your work with families and to give you experience in using tools from various models to assess and intervene in family dynamics.
This project involves doing your family genogram.
You will construct a three generation genogram [may be hand written/with a picture submitted, created on a word document or created digitally] of your own nuclear family including your grandparents, parents, siblings, their spouses if applicable and children if applicable and your children if applicable.
Your genogram will include a transactional map that diagrams your familys relational patterns (i.e. patterns of attachment, cut-offs and conflicted relationships, triangles, sub-systems, alliances, etc.).
You will be using class lecture and course readings descriptive of Structural Family Therapy outcomes as a primary tool for completion of your genogram.
In addition to structurally mapping out the genogram, students will write a brief (5 page) paper describing what transactional and generational patterns, behaviors, beliefs and norms you became aware of when analyzing your genogram.
How might these family patterns, behaviors, beliefs, norms impact your practice with families today and in the future?
If you were to intervene in one family transaction identified in your genogram, what would that be?
What specific intervention strategy (from course material) might you prescribe to modify this dynamic?
Provide your rationale for choosing this intervention strategy.
