- Title
Toward an African American Genogram.
- Authors
WATTS‐JONES, DARIELLE
- Abstract
This article addresses the inadequacy of the standard genogram for African American families because of its underlying assumption that ‘family’ is strictly a biological entity. The author suggests that this assumption is not culturally valid for African American families who have a long history of defining ‘family’ as a kinship based on biological and functional ties. Using this conceptualization, an African American genogram is proposed.
