The written assignment this week is a nice change from an APA written assignment! This week you will be instead creating an ecomap, genogram and writing an analysis of the information. You will need to interview a family and then illustrate their interfamilial relationships as well as their external support systems and stressors by creating a genogram and ecomap. You will also analyze the ecomap and genogram.
No title page is required
Review the ecomap and genogram in the textbook in Chapters 12, 13, 14, and 15. This will be your guide as you create an ecomap and genogram similar to that based on your interviewed family
Include a legend consisting of genogram and ecomap symbols as shown in the text
Write an analysis of the family relationship based on the concepts from the text and outside resources. This is where your 4 references will be used.
The genogram, ecomap and written information must all be in one document.
Must include 4 references, 2 must be from course materials and 2 from peer reviewed references. We are aware in week 4 there is only 1 required/recommended reference, you will need to use the Kaakinen text and 3 additional peer reviewed references to meet the guidelines of the assignment
Do NOT use journal articles with the key topic of how to create a genogram or ecomap. If this used it will result in point deduction
Reference must be no older than 5 years (2014-2019) unless course material.
