Family of Origin Paper (150 points)
Students will prepare a 5-8 page family of origin paper that identifies social, cultural or ethnic, and/or gender experiences in the family. It should discuss the potential impact these experiences have upon the student in working with families in treatment and identify areas for further development for the student’s preparation as a professional. In addition, it should include a family genogram to facilitate further exploration of the family unit.

While a point system is used to objectively grade this paper, emphasis will be on your ability to focus, write clearly, and integrate what you have learned through course readings, additional readings, experience, and class materials. In summary, you are expected to write a university level paper. Papers have higher clarity when following the SAY-SAY-SAY method. Tell me what you are going to tell me; tell me; then tell me what you told me.
