Genograms

/in /by

Social workers use genograms to gather and assess information about clients’ histories and family patterns over time. This valuable tool provides information to social workers, and it helps clients recognize and change problems in family patterns. Social workers may face challenges when working with individuals and families to develop genograms. For example, clients may have a disjointed family, have very little knowledge about their family, or feel uncomfortable talking about their family. It is important for social workers to identify such challenges and develop strategies to address them.

For this assignment, think about challenges a social worker might face when developing a genogram with an individual or family. Write a  a brief description of three challenges a social worker might face when developing a genogram with an individual or family. Then, explain how you might address each challenge. Be specific.

Grandma vs. Research

Prior to completing this assignment, please read chapters 1 and 2 in your textbook, view the “Endless Questions” video, and review any relevant Instructor Guidance. You may want to look specifically at the interactive media tools demonstrating information on theory which are provided in the Section 1.5 (within Module 1) of the textbook.  In this assignment you will be addressing the role of theory and evidence – both scholarly and personal – and how they can be utilized in the classroom or other professional settings.

In PART I of the paper, begin by reflecting on the benefits and drawbacks of accepting advice from stories told by previous generations (i.e. “I did that with my kids and they turned out just fine.”).  For example, you may have heard a grandparent suggest that you put a bit of whiskey on an infant’s gums to help with teething. Consider your own thoughts about anecdotal advice such as this and think about why it may be true in some cases, but not in others.
