This document discusses genograms, which are graphical representations of family trees that include detailed relationship data across at least three generations. Genograms were developed in 1985 as a tool for family therapy and medicine. They illustrate patterns in family systems by mapping family relationships, emotional bonds, strengths and challenges that are passed down between generations. The document provides guidance on constructing genograms through asking questions about family history and relationships.
Doing a Cultural Genogram: Hardy & LaszloffyJane Gilgun
This presentation describes the cultural genogram according to the work and thought of Hardy & Laszloffy. Doing a cultural genogram is an important part of becoming a competent helping professional. Emotional and psychological boundaries are central to effectiveness. Doing a cultural genogram raises subconscious processes to awareness, and thus professionals are much less likely to put their stuff on other people, including people who may be their clients and who are vulnerable.

Understanding the influence of our family of originteamlwcau
The way we see ourselves, others, and the world, is shaped in the setting of our family of origin. The views we develop there stay with us throughout life.” Richardson, R.W. (2011) Family Ties that Bind (4th ed.). Why do I still feel like a child?
Dr. Murray Bowen, a pioneer in the field of marriage and family therapy, offered 8 interlocking concepts as a way to think about relationship functioning, especially in one's extended family, nuclear family, and couples' relationships. This is a model that assumes that problems can come from too much togetherness. It assumes that if one feels secure in one's ability to remain separate, one can go the distance in one's effort to remain connected to important people in one's life.

Client background, present level of functioning and living situation
Kemoni Jenkins, a 14 year old male African American, (the client) is a young man suffering from a combination of several bad attributes such as depression, anxiety all related to events such as his parents’ divorce, drug abuse and fighting. He describes himself as a normal young man attempting to live his life in a different manner. He is often found under the influence of marijuana on almost a daily basis. He says that he smokes marijuana to reduce his chances of getting into trouble with the police, school administration, and his parents. According to him, marijuana calms his nerves and lets him be in control of his body. The young man is skeptical about the relationship between his mother and his stepfather citing the excessive use of drugs mostly done in their bedroom. He describes himself as a careful individual having to many times stop his stepfather from texting and smoking while driving. He does not consider his drug addiction as a problem at all to him. He is rather happy using them.
He admits that he has a problem especially when controlling his anger as well his behavior. He tends to get wild when angry or somewhat provoked. As a result of this, he engaged in a physical battle with his father to an extent of calling the police to intervene. He claims that this anger and behavior control problems are inherited from his father. He is a lot like his father and identifies with the kind of physical abuse that his dad used to give to his mother. He engages in disturbance while in class and as a result, he was kicked out every so often.

Key Problem/ Present Problem
His mother referred the client for a psychiatric examination as well as counseling to bring him back to being a good individual. She looks at the situation in which the son is at the moment and could only recommend that he attends a counseling session. Kemoni presents a common level of defiance mostly associated with young individuals his age. At adolescence, a young person irrespective of sex or gender is bound to be aggressive towards other members of the family. Without checking this, it may lead to huge losses with the child adopting this kind of bad behavior for the long haul.
Kemoni Jenkins is a depressed young man. He presently uses marijuana on a daily basis just like his mother and stepfather. He has fallen out with his father having ending their relationship in a fight. He left his father’s house two years ago to come live with his mother. The decision to undergo counseling was the mother’s as she sought to prevent the son from going down her road. His mother identified this need amid the constant fights, quarrels, constant lying, theft and defying authority. This is also fuelled by the serious conflict that he has with the parents, his peers and teachers often leading to losses and property destruction. His mother feels the need to attend counselin

Family Genogram Project Instructions
Building Your Family Genogram
Part I (GenoPro Genogram Software)
A genogram (pronounced: jen-uh-gram) is “a pictorial representation of family relationships across several generations. It is a convenient organizing device to help you identify family patterns or develop hypotheses about family functioning” (GenoPro.com). The genogram resembles a family tree; however, it includes additional relationships among individuals. This instrument facilitates the practitioner and his client’s identification an understanding of patterns in family history. The genogram also does a better job than a pedigree chart in mapping out relationships and traits.
Even though there are a plethora of books and websites on the subject of genograms, it is worth noting that Monica McGoldrick and Randy Gerson are responsible for its initial development and popularity in clinical settings. The structure of a genogram is by and large determined by the imagination and creativity of its author. Some of the most common features on a genogram are information related to the number of families, children in a given family, and the birth order of the family members—including the number of births and deaths.
Index Person: In constructing the genogram, identify yourself as the “index person” and complete the genogram on your family.
Focus: The focus of this genogram will be on family strengths and resilience, family patterns, rules or ways of being, and the overall health of the family. Of course, you should also address any issues and concerns that may be discovered; however, do not make the genogram problem-focused, even though this is typically how it is used in counseling.
Construction: You will submit your genogram through the assignment manager via GenoPro, found by clicking the “assignments” button. This submission will come in as a GenoPro document. You will also need to attach your narrative on an MS Word document. Make sure to include the following items:
· Two preceding generations—that is, the genogram must include the index person, his/her parents, and his/her grandparents (three generations, in all). It would also be imperative that, in the event of the index person being involved in a marital or significant relationship, mention must be made of the significant other involved, including their immediate family such as their parents, siblings, and children. In the case where the index person is either a parent or a grand-parent, his/her children must be included in the genogram.
· Use the symbols as illustrated within the GenoPro software to indicate the nature of many of the relationships among family members. Be sure to indicate yourself as the index person by drawing a double circle or double square around yourself. Do not forget to include the current date on your genogram.
· Use the relationship lines to indicate significant relationships within the family system. Do not use the “normal” line provided by GenoPro.

More About Genograms by Monica McGoldrick Over the past few decades use of the genogram as a practical tool for mapping family patterns has become more and more widespread among health-care professionals. As genograms have become widely used in the fields of medicine, psychology, social work, and the other health care, human service, and even legal fields, I wrote, originally with Randy Gerson, Genograms: Assessment and Intervention, a practical guide to genograms, now in its second edition and published by W. W. Norton, to illustrate more fully the growing diversity of family forms and patterns in our society and the applications of genograms in clinical practice. The genogram is still a tool in progress. Based on feedback from those who read the book and use genograms in their work as well as other developments in the field, the symbols have been evolved since the first edition appeared in 1985, which reflected a standardization developed by the North American Primary Care Research Group in collaboration with leading family therapists. We hope that evolution of the genogram as a tool will continue as clinicians use genograms to track the complexity of family process. While a genogram can provide a fascinating view into the richness of a family's dynamics for those in the know, it may remain a collection of meaningless squares and circles on a page to those who don't know the players in the drama. Our solution to this dilemma has been to illustrate the theory of genograms primarily with famous families about whom we all have some knowledge, rather than clinical cases. We are family therapists, not historians, and thus the information we have been able to glean about these famous families is limited. Most of the sources have been newspapers, magazines and biographies. Many readers may know more about some of the families than we were able to uncover from published sources. We will from time to time be putting the genograms of various famous families on the website. We trust that future biographers will be more aware of family systems and use genograms to broaden their perspective on the individuals and families they describe. We welcome any information from readers about the people we have included- especially from those more expert at gathering genealogical and other information about these people. We apologize in advance for any inaccuracies in the diagrams as they are drawn.
