Case study A
married couple, Rati (30 years) and Ben (33 years) are blessed with two children, 10 and 15
years old. They have been married for five years. Since Ben was retrenched at work, he has
been abusing drugs and alcohol. Thus, he fails to control his temper when he is spending time
with his family. The couple argue every day, even about small issues. At times, the arguments
result in physical violence. Rati has told her close cousin about the ongoing abuse she has
been experiencing. She has indicated that Ben frequently insults her and has become
physically violent on several occasions. Rati is concerned about her well-being and that of her
children.
Questions

before developing an intervention strategy/plan. Plot Rati’s family on a genogram and
ecomap.

b) Provide a visual representation of different systems (ecomap) that have an impact on the
life of the couple and their children. Please interpret the ecomap. [15]
To address the case study, we will first create a genogram and ecomap for Rati’s family. Here’s a
detailed breakdown of both tools and their interpretation:
1. Genogram
, A genogram is a graphical representation of a family tree that displays detailed data on relationships
among individuals. It goes beyond a traditional family tree by including information on the
relationships and health history of individuals.
a) Genogram for Rati’s Family
To create the genogram, we need to include the following individuals:
• Rati (30 years)
• Ben (33 years)
• Their children (10 years and 15 years)
• Close cousin of Rati (name and age not specified)
Based on the case study, here is a simplified genogram for Rati’s family:
