Required Content:

Title Page

Introductory Paragraph: Provide a brief paragraph that introduces the reader to the rationale and content of the paper.

Family Overview: Provide an overview of significant patterns and themes from your family genogram. You should be noting important themes that will be explored in more depth in the rest of the paper, including sociopolitical, cultural, race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, spiritual, family life cycle, and notable patterns and influences across and from previous generations. Integrate sources from the course readings to support the types of themes and patterns you are noting in these areas. Describe an addiction, substance use or family habit history. This overview should match and add depth when viewing the constructed genogram.

Describe Yourself and Your Immediate Family: Immediate family is this situation means those with whom you currently reside or interact with daily. This includes spouse, partner, children, parents, etc. It depends on your situation and those with whom you interact daily that are part of your family genogram. Describe who you are in terms of strengths, habits or substance use/addiction, and social and emotional relationship patterns. Describe where you are in your family life cycle. Include any pertinent sociopolitical, cultural, race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, and/or spiritual aspects of who you are. This immediate family is symbolized by drawing a circle around this family on the genogram. Your immediate family description should match what you represented in the constructed genogram. See the example in the McGoldrick text.

Interpretation: Analyze the genogram and who you are in the context of the three generations of your family history based on the patterns and themes you noted of importance in the areas of sociopolitical, cultural, race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic, spiritual, family life cycle, and notable patterns and influences across and from previous generations. Integrate sources from the course materials that support your interpretation of how your familys history led to the development of who you are as a person. Analyze the genogram according to multi-generational patterns, issues, and themes, such as repetitive symptom(s), relationship, or functioning patterns that are seen over generations. Thus, you ought to examine the genogram for repeated triangles, coalitions, cut-offs, patterns of conflict, over-and under-functioning, etc. Use concepts from the course materials to support what you are observing in your family. Here are some questions to stimulate your critical analysis: How did your family history lead to who you are and how you interact with your immediate family? What do you understand about yourself within the context of this multigenerational family? How do the cultural, historical, and personal characteristic aspects of the information impact your understanding of the self? What are the family lifecycle-related issues in the past or present that have influenced your family in the past or present? What intergenerational dynamics, patterns and/or themes that you have identified influence you (or others) in your current family?

Current Strengths and Future Growth: Identify what patterns and strengths you have kept from your family history and which ones you would like to change. In what areas can you improve to become a better spouse, partner, daughter, sister, parent, counselor, godly person, etc. Apply ways to improve at least one relationship within your immediate family. For example, if you mostly interact with your sister and noted your sister as your immediate family, then talk about how you can be a better sister. You can also talk about being a better person in general in this section. Make sure you include two strengths and two areas to improve. You must also include strengths and ways to improve your spirituality and faith. There would be three total strengths (one spirituality/faith) and three total ways to improve at a minimum.

Application of Family Therapy Techniques: Identify, support with a source, and describe two family therapy techniques or interventions you might use if you were counseling you within your immediate family. Give a rationale as to why. You cannot say to construct a genogram. You have already constructed the genogram. Give a rationale of the technique or intervention you chose based upon the genogram and interpretation.

Impact of Family Genogram Project: Describe how this project impacted your growth as a person and as a counselor. Were there any issues that came to light? What did you learn? How might you use genograms as an addiction counselor?

Conclusion: Give a brief concluding paragraph that summarizes the main content of the paper.

You are always expected to post and respond to two classmates for each discussion assignment. Your initial post should typically be around 200 words of text (5 points) and each response to your peers should be around 100 words (4 points).

Competency 93: Describe and summarize the clients behavior

within the group to document the clients progress and identify needs

group process. Situations in which significant differences between individual

and group goals require changing either the individuals goals or the groups

focus.

Skills: Recognizing that a clients behavior can be, but is not always,

reflective of the clients treatment needs. Documenting the clients group

behavior that has implications for treatment planning. Recognizing the

similarities and differences between individual needs and group processes.

Redesigning individual treatment plans based on the observation of group

behaviors.

Attitudes: Recognition of the value of accurate documentation. Appreciation

for individual differences in progress toward treatment goals and use of group

intervention

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

Now respond personably to these two prompts from classmates

REIKO’S RESPONSE: Knowledge: Rating 3.5

I gave myself a 3.5 because I understand the basics of how individual issues can show up in group settings, but I still feel that I have a lot more to learn. I am still developing my understanding of when and how it is appropriate to adjust someone’s treatment goals. Having that responsibility is a serious matter and I want to be sure I have strong enough knowledge and experience before doing that.

Skills: Rating 3

I rated myself a 3 because I am still building confidence in using my observations to adjust someone’s treatment plan. While I can notice behaviors in groups such as silence, overly talkative or distracted I am not fully comfortable making changes based on what I see. I understand that there will be people that will be hard to read. There will be people in groups that will not show the full picture of what they are going through. I know that learning how to be better at documenting clearly and connecting behaviors to treatment needs is something I need to improve on.

Attitude: Rating 4

I gave myself a 4 because I respect that every client should move at their own pace. It is important to treat each person with respect, patience and understanding. I appreciate that group counseling looks different for everyone and that progress does not always happen the same way.

BRI’S RESPONSE: Knowledge-Rating 4:

I rate myself a 4 in this area because I understand how individual issues show up in group dynamics and can identify when a client’s behavior signals a need for support or a shift in goals. I’m still developing my ability to interpret complex group interactions in real time. I plan to strengthen this by reviewing case examples, using supervision, and studying how different models explain group group behavior.

Skills-Rating 3:

I can recognize and document client behavior, but I’m still learning to connect those observations directly to treatment planning and modifications. I want to improve my ability to distinguish between behavior driven by treatment needs versus group dynamics. I’ll practice structured documentation, seek feedback, and observe experienced facilitators to help me improve.

Attitudes-Rating 5:

I value accurate, strength-based documentation and respect that clients progress at different paces. I approach group with patience and cultural sensitivity. I’ll continue reflecting on my biases and ensuring my documentation supports individualized, ethical care, and clinically useful.

PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHMENT

Please watch these videos, and upload one screenshot of each of them.

Watch this video from the beginning to minute 5:40

Now take some time to reflect. Consider these questions and write a response of 200 – 300 words about your reflection. You dont need to answer these specific questions, they are simply to help you reflect on what you have learned.

Animal research and zoos use “enriched living spaces” for animals. Why are enriched living spaces important if you were to study a mouse brain?

Can you think of examples of enriched living spaces for humans?

Can you think of human living spaces that are not “enriched living spaces”?

What does enrichment have to do with human brain development in early childhood, and later life?

What does enrichment have to do with human brain plasticity?

How will this understanding impact your interactions with people, and care of people in the behavioral health field?

Review Powerpoint Chapter 4 Assignments/To Do: 1. Watch the following brief videos in preparation for the assignment this week: a. Bronfenbrenner’s Theory: b. Erikson’s Theory: c Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development Choose ONE of these three discussions below and reflect on the theory that explains it. Discuss the theory in light of the real-life situation it addresses (about a one page reflection). 1.How does each one of Bronfenbrenners four spheres (microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem) influence events at OLLU? How do you think the COVID-19 pandemic shaped (or continues to shape) the chronosystem for children and college students? 2 In what ways might a failure to resolve earlier crises (in Eriksons stages of psychosocial development) be manifested in an adolescent who is attempting to establish his or her identity? In other words, how would failure to develop trust (or autonomy, or initiative, or industry) hinder an adolescent in the identity versus role confusion stage of development? 3 In a discussion about stealing in a therapy session, some clients express the opinion that it is all right to steal if you dont get caught. How should a therapist respond? What does that tell the therapist about the client’s stage of moral development?
