DYNAMICS
Work on understanding your family dynamics by:
a)Drawing your family genogram (3 generations) & elaborating on the relationships you have with particular members
of your family. Cite specific events that support description of relationships.
b) In your family of origin, who has been tagged as IP (Identified Patient) in the family. Why?
Looking back, how does that make sense to you now having named such member of the family
as the IP.
c)What are some of the myths that you have imbibed as a growing child which you now realize to be “blindly”
followed up to this day?
d)How do you assess configuration of your family functioning using dimensions explained by French?
In your own nuclear family now, what is your present family phase? What family tasks are you
confronting? Are you trying to deal with these tasks/issues/challenges as a family system? If
yes, how? If not yet, what is preventing you from addressing these challenges?
