Geneogram
THE COMMON PATTERNS THAT I SAW ON MY GENEOGRAM AND HOW IT AFFECT WHO I AM TODAY
Upon making and completing my Geneogram, the first thing that I got to realize is that I am really lucky with my family. We might not have a lot of professionals just like other families but no one in our family, whether mother or father side has any mental issues or any addictions to anything. Also, there are no bitter misunderstanding within our family that might have resulted to any conflicts.
Another common pattern that I saw is the common profession in our family. It is either engineering or nursing. This might explain as to why I chose engineering as a profession. It is visible that It is the common profession being practiced in our family.
Another significant pattern that is visible is the number of children each of my Tito/Tita have. No one from any of my Tito/Tita has a number of children greater than three. This might explain why my mother and father only had two children of their own. Also, another pattern that is visible is the age in which my cousins had children. My geneogram results shows that no one from my cousins became a parent before the reach 25. This might also in a way explain as to why I still don’t have children of my own today. THINGS TO HEAL / CHANGE IN MY GENEOGRAM PATTERNS Even though my geneogram is quite a normal, good geneogram of a normal family, there is one area of improvement that I saw. There might be little areas to heal or I wanted to change. That area is that we do not have a pattern our family that has a leadership or entrepreneurial background. Most of my family’s pattern shows that most of us became professionals. That might not be a bad thing for others, but it might be for me because I wanted to have my own business someday and if I were to look at my family’s geneogram there is no significant pattern that shows me that there is a leadership or entrepreneurial pattern. So I cannot get the said skill anywhere within my family. But

    However, most first degree relatives and twins share the same or similar environments so it is difficult to separate genetic and environmental influences. Adoption studies compare people who have been raised in a different environment from their biological relatives. If they have similarities with their biological relatives this should be due to genes. There is evidence from adoption studies carried out by Tenari et all (2000). They conducted a longitudinal…

The Edwards family chart show the different relations of marriages and fertility rate from today 's society.

This is because life expectancy was shorter; families were larger; and finally marriages were happening at a young age.…

    The pattern that I identified within my family genogram is a short history of known mental illness. When I was a teenager, my dad was diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Recently, I found out that my Aunt Kathy was diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. No one is positive about any other family members who have seen a therapist or psychiatrist, or has ever been diagnosed with a mental illness. Even though no other family members have been confirmed as mentally ill, I have a feeling there have been cases of depression in my grandparents in the past.…

    Genograms can be very enlightening for families. Many patterns of multigenerational issues can be exposed and explored by beginning with a genogram. There are patterns of medical issues that can be brought to light and give a family a chance to make healthier choices in an effort to stave off the effects of genetic predispositions to certain illnesses. The same can be said for patterns of addictions across multiple generations of the family. When these patterns of addictions are uncovered, they can be addressed, and possibly used to benefit the therapy of a family member.…

    In families around the world, there are genetic genes replicating between every generation from parents to offspring. The traits I have inherited cannot be just influenced by what my parents have given me but by the impacts of culture and region. Ethnocentrism often shows the biased perspective of one’s own culture being inferior. Raised with a certain culture and belief can influence the subordination of other cultures. The view that cultures have values within their own historical and environmental perspectives and should first be understood within those contexts is cultural relativism. Everyone believes the beliefs they have learned from their parents,…

    Genetic Influence Behavior

    Genetic research on twins and families usually measure the degree of similarity in characteristics, such as intelligence, between genetically related and unrelated individuals. From this comparison, a concordance rate between 0 and 100 is calculated. If the rate is close to 100, the behavior is assumed to have a strong genetic basis. On the other hand, if the rate is low, environmental factors are thought to play a major part. Some of behaviors that have the highest concordance rates are homosexuality, schizophrenia, alcoholism, general mood levels, and intelligence, with average concordance rates between 60 and 70. Behaviors with lower concordance rates include depression, personality, religious values, political beliefs and vocational interests, with average concordance rates of around 30…

(2) I was always in a rush to get ahead. (3) My intelligence was something my family was immensely proud of, but something that limited me. From a young age I have been the first child in my family with ambition to succeed, and the last with the ability to do so.…
