College Project: Family Attachments
Show What You Know About Family and Attachment: Paper on Family and Attachment
Woman reading at a computerWrite a short paper identifying attachment relationships

between you and your family and/or significant others using a genogram to display

your family attachments (see below). The paper should be 3 pages plus a reference

page if necessary:

The first page should be a narrative (in essay format) of your concept of family:

yourdefinition and description of what makes up a family. This could include

cultural or religious practices or, perhaps, economic and/or family values.
The second page is a genogram in which you will depict your family relationships

and attachments (see below for instructions).
The third page is your analysis of the relationships and attachment depicted in

your genogram. What understanding of your attachment relationships came about from

this exercise? Were there any surprises?
To construct the genogram, use the typical format for lines and symbols for

connection. Use the resources outlined in the Content Guide on Families in this

module to assist you; or you can locate your own. This is a conventional genogram

of your family with symbols and lines identifying gender and relationship

connections. For example, squares symbolize males, circles symbolize females.

Submit it in any format that is convenient for you as long as I can access a clean

copy. You may likely be able to draw this on your computer, either using a drawing

program or by scanning in a genogram done by hand (like you would a photograph or a

drawing), but hand drawing on paper is fine, too. One of the ways to create a

genogram is using Microsoft Word. Please view the instructions on how to create a

genogram in Word and save it in a format that transfers well.

Attachments in Families: After you have completed the family genogram, add the

following to identify the kinds of attachment relationships you have (or had) with

your family members:

four lines for a connection that is a strong attachment,
three lines for a moderate attachment,
two lines for a minimal attachment, and
broken line for a negative attachment.
One line is the default, indicating there is a connection but not an attachment,

such as a connection with someone who might be related to you, but never

emotionally connected.
