Make an Genogram for the Hernandez Family Case

Make an Genogram for the Hernandez Family Case

Genogram: Hernandez Family

Murray Bowen (as cited in Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 595) developed the genogram, a tool to help social workers and other practitioners create a record of family relationships. Once a social worker creates a genogram for a client, he or she may refer to it when analyzing the client’s situation.

To prepare for this Assignment, become familiar with how to create a genogram, which is presented in this week’s resources. Also, review this week’s media about Juan and Elena Hernandez’s visit with their social worker.

Submit by SATURDAY 8PM NEW YORK TIME  a 2- to 4-page paper that includes the following:

• A genogram of the Hernandez family
• An analysis of the Hernandez family’s case based on the genogram including the following information.
  • Identify an element of the Hernandez family’s case that may influence the way Juan and Elena Hernandez address their issue with the social worker.
  • Explain how the genogram you created might help you address the needs of the Hernandez family.
