[humanser] Eco-maps and Genograms in the field as someone who is completely blind?

[Michael Abell]

Hello Miranda,
	I do not use genograms in my practice.  I understand the use and the
place that they have in therapy, but I do not use them.  I perceive them as
a tool for therapy but not the production of the genogram itself.  Use the
Narrative to convey the material to your clients the same way that you do
with your instructors.  Fidelity to genograms is not in the actual work
product as it is to the effectiveness of the theory.

Warmly,

Rev. Michael “Big Dog” Abell

Hi Everyone,
I have written here in the past about the need to produce eco-maps and
genograms as part of my social work courses. My professors are more than
willing to allow me to produce narratives of these tools for academic
assignments. However, one professor has asked me to consider how I would
produce these tools as part of assessments when working with future clients
as a professional social worker.
So, here I am again. As someone who is completely blind, I am wondering if
you would be willing to share how you produce eco-maps and genograms when
assessing clients?
Thank you as always for your time and assistance, and have a wonderful week!

Best wishes, Miranda
