For this assignment, construct a genogram using the Animal Genogram interactive media for a family system that has been impacted by addiction. You can choose a family system from a movie, book, television show, or other fictional source. This assignment has two deliverables:

  • The PDF of the genogram you created in the Animal Genogram interactive media for your selected fictional source.
  • A written document in which you summarize your fictional source based on the genogram you developed.

Instructions

  1. Create a genogram for a selected fictional source using the Animal Genogram interactive media.
  2. Summarize the following elements for your fictional source in a written document:
  • Family Dynamics and Role of Addiction:
    • Briefly summarize the family dynamics within the chosen family system.
      • How does addiction manifest in the story, and what role does it play in shaping relationships and interactions among family members?
  • Identification of Family Roles:
    • Identify and label specific family roles (e.g., enabler, scapegoat, hero) within the genogram.
      • Discuss how these roles are influenced by the presence of addiction and how they contribute to the family’s overall functioning.
  • Patterns of Addiction:
    • Describe any patterns of addiction or substance abuse within the family.
      • Are there generational patterns?
      • How do these patterns affect family members and their relationships?
  • Non-Genetic Influences:
    • Explain any significant non-genetic factors (e.g., trauma, socioeconomic status, cultural influences) that might contribute to addiction within this family system.
      • How do these factors interact with addiction dynamics?
