Genograms and ecomaps are tools that are commonly used in counseling settings. Genograms provide a visual representation of a family and can capture and synthesize a great deal of information about family structure, patterns, relationships, and health in a single image. Ecomaps also provide illustrations or visuals and help to examine the environmental and societal systems in which we live and interact. These systems that shape our experiences and identities. For this assignment, you will first create a genogram or an ecomap about you and your family. Although the overall structure of genograms and ecomaps is generally consistent, you will note that different sources may use different symbols to denote characteristics of a person or relationship. There is not one “correct” set of symbols to use; however, for clarity it is important that you include a legend at the bottom of both your genogram and your ecomap indicating what all the symbols you have included mean. You can find several resources and explanations of genograms and ecomaps on the web. Your genogram and ecomap may be handwritten or done on a computer. You may use online resources such as “genogram makers” (e.g., genopro.com or others) if you choose. In addition to your genogram or ecomap, please submit a paper reflecting on your family patterns, focusing on cultural identity.
