SUMMARY:PICTURE THIS - Townsville
DESCRIPTION:Harnessing the Therapeutic Power of Genograms\nThis workshop will open up the enormous possibilities and potential of the genogram as a process for both assessment\, and intervention. Widely used by family therapists and all health care professionals\, the genogram is a graphic way of organising the mass of information gathered during a family assessment and finding patterns in the family system for more targeted treatment. Yet many practitioners commonly complete only a very basic genogram and file it away\, never to be looked at again by them (or their client). This is a major loss especially with complex cases. Done correctly a genogram interview is a powerful assessment tool giving you more detailed understanding of case presentations and how to plan targeted interventions. \nTo understand what it is that brings a person to seek help\, it’s essential to consider how each person is inextricably interwoven within broader interactional and contextual systems\, the most fundamental of which is family.  Family is a principle influence in shaping who a person is\, how they relate to others\, and how they react or respond to life’s predictable stages and changes (e.g.\, marriage\, starting a family\, teenage years\, aging parents)\, as well as unplanned challenges (e.g.\, divorce\, remarriage\, infertility\, untimely death\, trauma).  This is an important consideration regardless of the family structure people come from\, but especially so if clients have an experience of removal from their biological family to foster\, kinship or residential care. \nFamily diagrams (or genograms) provide a picture of who a person is\, where they come from\, who matters in their life\, and how they belong in the world; as well as providing a framework for understanding present stressors\, past struggles and strengths and resources.  It goes beyond a traditional family tree allowing practitioners to visualise patterns and psychological factors that affect relationships. This “picture” representation of a client’s family context enables practitioners to organise and hold in mind the complexity of a client’s context (family history\, patterns\, events) and their strengths in order to collaboratively identify pathways to healing and promote recovery.  Genograms provide a rich and powerful tool for engagement\, enhancing the therapeutic alliance\, assessment\, treatment planning\, and can be used as a therapeutic intervention in itself. \nBy completion of this workshop participants will have highly effective tools that can be used with all clients and their families/carers/other professionals involved. The Workshop will include the following areas: \n\nThe place of genogram work within Systemic Family Therapy\nCore systemic concepts related to genogram work\nHow to create a genogram and graphically organise information gathered in an assessment session\nHow to conduct a genogram interview and how to share the genogram with your client\nTracking family patterns through time and space\nInterpreting and working with family structure\nAssessing family patterns and functioning\, including relational patterns and triangles\nConsideration of the Family Life Cycle\nMental Health implications\nA Strengths based approach to genograms\nUsing genograms as assessment\, to plan intervention and as an intervention\nCreative approaches to creating and working with genograms\nGenograms for Young People in Out of Home Care\n\nREVIEWS \nPresented by: Dr Leonie White a Psychologist and Clinical Family Therapist with 20 years experience including work with children\, adults\, families\, foster families\, residential care providers\, teachers and other therapists\, in Health\, Education\, and Child Protection Services as well as in the Non-Government sector and Private Practice.
