The signature assignment must include the following:
8-10 pages double spaced
At least 4 references throughout the paper that is peer reviewed

Size 12 Font

The Signature Assignment for this course will be an application of concepts explored throughout the course, and Module 6 in particular. To the best of your ability, briefly explain how an MFT would conceptualize Three Phases of Systemic Formulation in the context of your own family or a family you know well. Details can be fabricated if necessary. Use initials or a made-up name to identify members. This is a clinical, objective, observational analysis of the family system explained in a third-person narrative. The genogram can be created in Word or drawn by hand and scanned in, but it must be included in the paper. (note, the portal only accepts 1 document so be sure that your genogram is part of the entire paper).
For your paper, be sure to define and explore the following:
Genograms (Here you will do both, discuss what a genogram is and visually make one—a genogram is three generations deep) The referral

Deconstructing the problems
Contextual factors
Beliefs and explanations
Problem-maintaining patterns and feedback loops Emotions and attachments
Synthesis
Before concluding the paper, identify a problematic pattern in the family that may need to change. Since the portal only takes 1 document as a submission, include the link of your oral presentation at the beginning of your paper (See Presentation Requirements in the next section). In essence, your paper will include the explanation and research on the family system terms listed above, along with your genogram that was drawn in, and the link to your oral presentation all in one document.
Presentation Requirements
Create an oral presentation where you discuss the patterns that may need to change and your rationale. Then discuss how you as a therapist would bring up the topic in therapy, how you would explore the family dynamics around the topic in therapy, and how you would go about promoting change within the family system.
This presentation needs to be done using power point with voice-over and needs to be at least 10 slides.***
