Mi Familia: How it all Started” (Family-of-Origin Paper) (35% of final grade) We are all products of our families. To learn how to work with individuals and their families it is useful to examine the family you know best: your own family of origin, whether adopted or biological. A good place to start this investigative process is to complete a three-generation genogram. Following that, you will do a complete case study on your family as if you were a counselor conducting an initial assessment. The final section will involve those interventions that would be most useful in working with the family you describe. If this assignment poses a special problem for you and you wish to use a substitute family, please see me ASAP. Be sure to use language consistent with what you have learned this semester throughout the paper to describe your family.
This paper will include (but is not limited to) the following:

1. A genogram of your family of origin, to include an exploration of the Five Rules (details below);
2. A complete case study. This will include an overview of your family life cycle, ethnic influences, celebrations and rituals, rules, values, stories, and philosophy of life (details below);
3. An intervention section: As a family therapist, what interventions would you recommend to treat or strengthen your family-of-origin? (details below)

   Each of the above sections should appear as different headers in your paper, using appropriate sub-headers as needed (APA style). Be sure to include
   an introduction and conclusion. This assignment will be due on May 5, 2025 by midnight, and will be graded based on originality and insight. The final product should be no less than 8 pages, typed, doubled-spaced.
   More information on Part A – Emotional Relationships – Don’t just create a “family tree”! (see also Gladding pp 232-234, & 240).
   In the first part of your paper, you will complete and analyze a three-generation genogram beginning with you and your siblings as the first generation. If you are, or have been, in a significant relationship (married or other arrangement), include this information and indicate children if present. Part A will have two parts: the actual genogram itself (with all the accompanying information, as well as a “key” that describes the symbols that you used) and the discussion (where you will analyze the patterns found in the genogram).
   The genogram
   Include immediate and extended family members on your genogram. This will include your parents, siblings (and their partners if applicable), nieces/nephews, aunt/ uncles, cousins (1st cousins only), and grandparents. If you are married/life- partnered, include your partner but not his/her family of origin. If you have children, include them below you.
   You should include important identifying information for each individual on the genogram (i.e. written/printed next to each individual). This information will include his/her name, age, relation to you (e.g., mother, grandfather, etc.), and relationship status (e.g., married, divorced, single, separated, etc.).
   Off to the side of each individual’s name, include his/her (a) primary occupation and•
   —
   (b) the presence of any known psychological and/or physical distress (addictions, mental illnesses, etc.). These may be hand-written.
   Emotional Relationships – Don’t just create a “family tree”! Using the symbols in the “Genograms” link #4 describe the emotional relationships of your family. Discussion/Exploration of the genogram – Explore and discuss the significance of the “Five Clues” that can be determined through your genogram:
   Significant dates – identify all important dates (e.g., historical, familial, and relationship dates), discuss what information exists about these events, and what this information adds to your understanding of the patterns in your genogram. Gender beliefs and values – discuss how these beliefs/values have thread through your genogram (or not) and what impact this may have had on your development. Secrets – identify where secrets exist in the make-up of the genogram. If there are no clear secrets, identify where (if anywhere) unknown or unspoken facets of people’s lives exist. Discuss what impact these secrets (or lack thereof) have had on the boundaries and communication patterns in your genogram. Losses – discuss how the experience(s) of loss (remember how broad that term can be) has impacted the relationship patterns in your genogram. Explore how these events may have been perceived differently by different individuals. Themes – identify the themes that run through your genogram that answer the questions “Who are we?” and “How do we behave?” What do these themes reveal about your family’s belief structure and how have they guided the family in making decisions about their current and future behaviors?
   Free software is available from http://www.smartdraw.com/specials/ ecomap.htm or http://www.genopro.com/genogram that you can use to create and print your genogram. Be aware that these are time-limited downloads (i.e. you should create your genogram soon after downloading and not wait until a month has passed to begin your work).
   More information on Part B
   In this section, you will complete a case study where you thoroughly explore some of this course’s main concepts as they apply to your Family of Origin.
   Family life cycle: Compare and contrast your current life cycle stage with how your parents (or grandparents) experienced it. What issues are pertinent to you that were/were not pertinent to your parents? How do you account for these differences? Ethnic influences: What is your ethnic identity? (Define what you mean by “ethnic”). What is the nature of your current family relationships, habits, attitudes, values, and life style that are a reflection of your ethnic background? How are these the same or different than when you were growing up in your family of origin? How did your family of origin interact with other ethnic/racial groups? How does this differ in your current family situation? How do you account for the changes?

   Stories: What are some of your family’s stories that are told? What are the underlying messages? What influence do these stories have?
   Philosophy of life: How did your family “make meaning” of the world in which it lived? How have you implemented/discarded this philosophy as it applies to your current situation?
   More information on Part C
   In this last section, you will explore those interventions that would be most useful in working with a family like the one you’ve described. These interventions can be directed at treating any deficits noted and/or to strengthen positive attributes. Be sure to answer such things as:
   What are some of the needs of this family?
   What are the strengths of this family?
   Which theory or blend of theories would be most beneficial to this family (and why)? What goals would you set if you were to work with this family?
   What would success “look like” if the goals are reached?

Research Paper Assignment Instructions

Overview

In this course, you will build the outline for your dissertation. Your dissertation consists of five chapters, each containing sections, and the student will set up only the first three chapters in this class. These do NOT have to be finished copies, however, the basis of the dissertation will be set up, so you may have a basic framework moving forward in your studies.

NOTE: You will resubmit the same document throughout this course. You will add onto the dissertation with each course milestone (each module). Hence, all the instructions for each part are contained in this document.

NOTE 2: Your committee chair may ask you to add sections or rearrange sections, which is acceptable. This course follows the text’s outline and will not necessarily produce a final dissertation copy, but a framework to present to the chair of the committee. Every dissertation is different, so the length is a guideline. There is no maximum length of each section, unless noted differently.

NOTE 3: For this class, you will use the Dissertation Template given in this Module: Week. Your paper should be a running paper through the first five Modules: Weeks.

Instructions

Research Topic Submission Instructions

This section is the opening 1–2 paragraphs of the student’s dissertation, which will be titled “Background” or something of that nature, in his/her dissertation. This paper section must contain a title page, body of the paper, and a reference page. This section is the opening paragraph or two of your dissertations, titled “Background” or something of that nature, in your dissertation. It tells the reader what your study is about, why it is important, and who will benefit from the study. It also contains a basic or general history of the problem (those historical details will be included in a different section). This paper section should contain a title page, body of the paper, and a reference page. At least 2 references (all peer-reviewed) should be included in this draft. All references (here and future parts) should be no more than five (5) years old.

Problem Statement / Research Questions Instructions

The next section of the paper involves an expansion of the first paragraph on why the student’s chosen dissertation issue is a problem related to criminal justice. This section will be titled “Problem Statement,” will be at least 4 paragraphs, and include at least 4 additional peer-reviewed references. At the conclusion of the problem statement, a new section, titled “Research Question(s)” will be added. In this brief section, the student will post his or her 1–3 central research question(s), which the student will seek to answer in his or her dissertation.

Draft Purpose Statement Instructions

The next section of the paper gives the purpose of the study. It explains what the student wants to accomplish and what his/her motivation for this study. The statement also includes the significance of the research. This section will be about 1–2 paragraphs on the purpose of the research. This entire section will be at least 4 paragraphs and include at least 4 additional peer-reviewed references.

Conceptual Draft of Chapter 1 Instructions

Now that the above is completed, the student must reread the chapter thoroughly and make corrections. Only 11 references have been required so far, but at least 9 more must be added at this point. Chapter 1 should be 8-10 pages, with at least twenty (20) peer-reviewed references dated within 5 years. You also should include the following additional sections:

·       Operational Definitions: A section where important terms for your paper are defined.

·       Scope and limitations: This area gives what you will be measuring and what your paper encompasses. The limitations are areas you cannot measure or what you cannot evaluate because of impossibility or other reasons noted in the text.

Chapter 1 should be at least 8-10 double-spaced pages of content, with at least 20 peer-reviewed references.

Conceptual Draft of Chapter 2 (Literature Review) Instructions

This chapter of the paper is the longest and usually the most difficult for students. Only two prescribed sections are included in chapter 2 as this presents the student’s research into what has been written about the topic. Chapter 2 will begin with an introduction and the student’s strategies to finding literature. The student must give a percentage ratio of his/her sources since 85% of the references in any dissertation must come from peer-reviewed research and 15% may come from other sources. After those two sections, the literature review is written. This literature review must be at least 30 pages. At the end of this section, you should have at least twenty (20) additional references though in this class (for a total of at least 50 pages, including chapter 1).

nstructions Choose a character from Everyday Use ,https://harpers.org/archive/1973/04/everyday-use/ preferably a character whose background is considerably different from yours. Write a 750-1000 word (approximately 3-4pp) paper imagining a conversation with this character. Think about the character’s “voice” and try to keep as true to the character created by the original author as possible. This paper should involve both imagination and analysis: in order to do it well, you’ll have to really analyze the character. At the same time, you’ll need to imagine the situation and your responses. Do you think you would get along? What could you learn from this character? What could this character learn from you? Do you have any mutual interests or sympathies? Do you want to ask any questions about unresolved issues in the story? The paper’s format is up to you – it can be an essay about your talk, or it can read like a short story. In either case, however, it should include a conclusion exploring what you have learned about yourself by imaginatively interacting with both the story we have read and the character which is now a mutual creation of the author and yourself.
