Overview:
A person’s family of origin has presumably been the most powerful influence on how we
think, feel, behave and interact with others. Before a person can work as a human
service professional, he/she must first take a look at their own lives, to include their
family of origin system and he/she must also explore the positive and negative
influences one’s family of origin has on current relationships.
Instructions:
In this paper, discuss in depth the values, beliefs, customs, implicit and explicit
expectations, and attitudes from your family of origin.
In addition, discuss the family dynamics you identified within your family of origin.
Reflect on how your personal experiences (e.g. family dynamics) may influence the
work you do as a helper.
**Please note that this assignment does NOT require you to share
personal information or experiences rather should explore your overall
experience in your family of origin.**
Requirements:
• Submit a Word document in APA format.
• Maximum 5 pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference pages.
• At least three scholarly resources, excluding the course textbook.
Be sure to read the criteria below by which your work will be evaluated before
you write and again after you write.
