Blog 3 - Genograms 2/11/09

I think the assignment on Genograms will be interesting, but I think I will have to get creative with mine. My family is fairly simple with just my mom, dad, sister, and myself. My extended family is not very large either. While there are a few issues to note in my extended family (3 divorces, etc) I don’t think there are enough to make the Genogram look full. I will have to really think outside the box for interesting facts and relationships. I like that we can include people who have made a significant impact in our lives but are not actually related. An example for me would be my boyfriend. Another thing I will bring up is my Dad’s current deployment in Afghanistan. There is obviously no symbol for that but I will write a note about it. I felt a lot better about this assignment when I learned that we can be pretty creative with it when it comes to what information goes into it, and how we present info that does not have a symbol. As with everyone else, I’m interested in getting to know my family better. Good luck everyone.
