Question: As you have been exploring human behavior and the social environment, you have likely increased your awareness of the many biological, psychological, and sociological factors that affect individual behavior. Human relationships are complex, and social workers may find it difficult to keep these important interactions in mind when addressing a client's needs. Murray Bowen (as cited in Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 595) developed the genogram, a tool to help social workers and other practitioners create a record of family relationships. Once a social worker creates a genogram for a client, he or she may refer to it when analyzing the client's situation.
To prepare for this Assignment, become familiar with how to create a genogram, which is presented in this week's resources. Also, review this week's media about Juan and Elena Hernandez's visit with their social worker.
Submit a 2- to 4-page paper that includes the following:
1. A genogram of the Hernandez family
2. An analysis of the Hernandez family's case based on the genogram including the following information.
3. Identify an element of the Hernandez family's case that may influence the way Juan and Elena Hernandez address their issue with the social worker.
4. Explain how the genogram you created might help you address the needs of the Hernandez family.
