Case Conceptualization and Genogram
For this assignment, you will develop a hypothetical family case. The
purpose of this project is to provide you with an opportunity to review and
reflect on your clinical development of a case study. You will develop a
three-generation genogram for this fictional family and choose from
specific theoretical models, depending on your degree program. Your
analysis needs to include theory-based interventions that align with the
clinical model chosen.
Your assignment will include three parts:
- Case overview clearly identifying the family system that aligns with
the genogram.
- Three-generation genogram with pattern reflection.
- Theoretical model and interventions.
You will need to use and cite a minimum of eight scholarly resources from
within the most recent 3–5 years (unless it is a seminal article). The
length of the paper should be a minimum of 10 typed, double spaced pages.
Case Overview With Supporting Genogram and Pattern Reflection
In 1 pages, provide a general description of your created case, identifying
the clients, and any other presenting information that sets a context for
the case and your work with the family.
Create a supporting three-generation genogram that aligns with the
narrative for this hypothetical case family. Be sure to identify who is
attending the sessions in the case overview.
When reflecting on the patterns of the genogram, you need to identify
themes across the generations, such as marital patterns, educational and
career patterns, patterns which started in different generations, and
patterns which stopped in different generations. Discuss your ideas about
the how the relationship qualities developed between the family members.
How did personality traits and family values influence education and career
choices? How did generations balance family and work? Were there
similarities or differences between generations? How come?
Theoretical Model and Interventions
Learners in the Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy program need to
choose from this list of theoretical models:
- Strategic family therapy, including the MRI and Milan models
(theorists: Weakland, Jackson, Watzlawick, Haley, Madanes, Palazzoli,
Boscolo, Cecchin, Prata).
- Intergenerational family therapy (theorist: Bowen).
- Structural family therapy (theorist: Minuchin).
Learners in the Mental Health Counseling program need to choose from this
list of theoretical models:
- Bioecological theory (theorist: Bronfenbrenner).
- Structural family therapy (theorist: Minuchin).
- Intergenerational family therapy (theorist: Bowen).
Learners in the School Counseling program need to choose from this list of
theoretical models:
- Bioecological theory (theorist: Bronfenbrenner).
- Solution-focused brief therapy (theorists: deShazer and Berg).
- Intergenerational family therapy (theorist: Bowen)
After you have identified your choice of the theoretical model to use,
complete the following:
- Identify the theoretical model you used, and provide a brief overview
of the model. Include the theory of change, stance of the therapist, and
founding theorists. It is important to use peer-reviewed references (from
the most recent 3–5 years, unless it is a seminal article) to support your
discussion of the theory; look for seminal articles written by the founding
theorists.
- Include interventions that are used according to the model and provide
questions you would ask during the therapy session. Include a discussion on
these questions and how the interventions used relate to the theoretical
model. For example, if you were using solution-focused therapy, you might
ask the miracle question or a scaling question.
- This section should be 8 pages in length.
