Assignment Question

Week 4 Written Assignment: This week you will 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 then analyze the ecomap and genogram. Review the ecomap and genogram in the textbook on pages 148-163. 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. If this is missing, there will be points deducted. Write an analysis of the family relationship based on the concepts from the text and outside resources. This is where your 3 references will be used. This should include the ecomap and genogram, body of paper, and reference page. There is an example paper in the assignment instructions to guide you.
