[humanser] Culturagram

[JD Townsend]

Personally I love the genogram.  It is a visual image that captures family 
function & disfunctions in a manner that has maximum impact on some 
individuals and families.

I cannot do it myself and often have social work or mental health counselor 
student interns do the graphics.  They come out oddly as free-hand pictures, 
but every patient has desired to take it home, usually hanging it on a wall.

When I have no student to do my graphic work I have used the patient her/him 
selves to do the exercise.

Years ago I invested in a software program that drew the genogram but was 
never able to devote the time to make it work smoothly enough to be 
practicle for me.

Just my thoughts.

Hi all,

I had to draw a genogram for one of my social work courses at Rutgers.
I first wrote out all the info about my family.  Then, out of the
goodness of her heart, one of my classmates from another class
volunteered to draw the genogram for me! :)  I don't mean to brag,
but, when my friend brought my genogram, on a big posterboard, to my
class for me, one of my classmates said my friend's drawing looked
better than hers!

Looking back on it, I'm sure I could've asked the professor if I
really had to draw it, since I'm blind, or if my outline of my family
info would've sufficed.  Depending on the purpose of the visual
aspects of your assessment tool, this option might be helpful.
