Family
Genogram

Abstract
A genogram is similar to a family tree that maps out family relationships and traits,
including additional relationships among family members. A genogram is a useful
instrument to identify and understand patterns within a family history. The
genogram presented shows information regarding three generations of my family
and my spouse’s family to include parents, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws. 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. In addition, this
genogram will analyze who I am in the context of my family based on
race/ethnicity, culture, class, gender, spiritual tradition and family life cycle. The
paper will conclude with my personal reflection related intergenerational dynamics
and patterns that I have identified influencing me and my brother in current
families.
