In this module, you will learn about how to interview someone for a family genog

In this module, you will learn about how to interview someone for a family genogram, how to create a family genogram, and how to interpret or analyze a family genogram. This skill is invaluable in determining your patient’s genetic risks, your patient’s world view, your patient’s experience of chaos and trauma as well as the family resources for emotional support, problem-solving, and financial resources if needed. The extended family is the prime source for insight into your patient’s life, beliefs, and experience. before you begin, look at the course resources. You will find examples of genograms and examples of a key. You will also find the rubric for grading this assignment. Print out the rubric for this assignment and look carefully at the information you are expected to collect. You should use it as a guide while you are doing your interview. If you don’t do this and prepare yourself, you will leave things out and regret it. also note the rubric has 6 parts. That is 6 parts. Please complete all 6 parts of the analysis you turn in.
Step 1. Identify someone in your family you can interview. If there is a reason you would prefer not to interview someone in your family, you may interview someone in another family. I encourage you to interview a woman. They are the keepers of the family history and generally more curious about the family history and dynamics. You will simply be able to get more information making the assignment a better learning experience for you. You may find out information that you previously did not know and perhaps you find painful, Think about that before you start.
Step 2. Watch the video and take notes. Genogram Interview_Video , on your paper always start in the upper right-hand corner and use a legal size paper. You want to get details. This is easier to record if you have a large piece of paper. (This may take 2 sittings and involve tears)
Step 3. You need at least 3 generations and it should tell a pretty interesting story about your famiy and help you understand why you are the way you are. Please be sure and include health questions. Ex. What did this person die of, Why did she never leave the house? Mental health questions are particularly important.
Step 4. Write key. It should be a little descriiptor about each person. Don’t be too cryptic. The key is not an index of the symbols, it is a descriiptor about the individual. See this example below. the numbers correspond to the numbers on the genogram.
Step 5. Write your analysis. You will use several resources: see the rubric below
1. Walter Toman: Family Constellations-see below
2. Boot Camp 4 Family Assessment_2017-see below
3. Be certain to use the Calgary model of family assessment, the developmental stage of this family, and some evaluation of how well the family members are carrying out the tasks of that family. You may do this several times as different family groups are a t different stages in their development.
Step 6. You will write some type of summary of what you learned and how it impacts the mental health of various family members. You will be asked to identify community recourses for the family that exist in your community. Finally your conclusions, please don’t forget that part. It should bring to mind, hard work, heartbreak and resilience, love, and struggle. You should see patterns emerge. These are important to learn how to identify.
