Section 2: Analysis. Discuss your analysis of the genogram. In particular:
o What inter-generational patterns, dynamics, and/or themes have you identified that influence you (or the index person) or others in the family? This analysis should be seen through the lens of one of the major theories covered in this course (e.g., Bowen’s 8 interlocking ideas or Minuchin’s structural theory). Please connect each pattern/dynamic you identify to this theory, and to specific concepts from within that theory.
o How have cultural factors in this family affected the index person and the family system as a whole? How has this been similar or different, across different generations?
o Note that this section of the paper is really the heart of the written genogram analysis. In Section 1, just provide enough of the story to support and expand upon your observations in Section 2. Section 2 is really the main focal point of the assignment, as it is the section where you analyze patterns and tie these to a major theory from the course.
o Highlight analysis over self-reflection.
o Please support your analysis with appropriate literature and evidence (properly cited using APA format).
